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

A small object at rest, absorbs a light pulse of power \(20\,mW\) and duration \(300\,ns\). Assuming speed of light as \(3 \times 10^8\,m / s\). the momentum of the object becomes equal to \(.........\times 10^{-17} kg\,m / s\)

  1. A \(0.5\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Momentum \(=\frac{\text { Energy }}{ C }\) \(=\frac{\text { Power } \times \text { time }}{ C }\) \(=\frac{\left(20 \times 10^{-3} w \right)\left(300 \times 10^{-9}\,s \right)}{3 \times 10^8 m / s }\) \(=2 \times 10^{-17}\,kg - m / s\)
