JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

A small mirror of mass \(m\) is suspended by a massless thread of length \(l\). Then the small angle through which the thread will be deflected when a short pulse of laser of energy \(E\) falls normal on the mirror ( \(\mathrm{c}=\) speed of light in vacuum and \(\mathrm{g}=\) acceleration due to gravity)

  1. A \(\theta=\frac{3 \mathrm{E}}{4 \mathrm{mc} \sqrt{\mathrm{g} l}}\)
  2. B \(\theta=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{mc} \sqrt{\mathrm{g} l}}\)
  3. C \(\theta=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{2 \mathrm{mc} \sqrt{\mathrm{gl}}}\)
  4. D \(\theta=\frac{2 \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{mc} \sqrt{\mathrm{g} l}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\theta=\frac{2 \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{mc} \sqrt{\mathrm{g} l}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force due to beam assuming complete reflection \(\mathrm{F}=\frac{2 \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{C}} \frac{\mathrm{dE}}{\mathrm{dt}} ; \mathrm{P}\) is power So change in momentum of mirror.…
