JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

An object is placed in a medium of refractive index \(3\). An electromagnetic wave of intensity \(6 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^2\) falls normally on the object and it is absorbed completely. The radiation pressure on the object would be (speed of light in free space \(=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) ):

  1. A \(36\  \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  2. B  \(18\  \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(6 \ \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  4. D  \(2\  \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6 \ \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { Radiation pressure }=\frac{I}{V} \) \( =\frac{I \cdot \mu}{c} \) \( =\frac{6 \times 10^8 \times 3}{3 \times 10^8} \) \( =6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
