Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5.0\times 10^{-3}\,Ns\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{I}=25 \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{cm}^{2}}\) \(=25 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)

\(P = 25 \times 25;\)    \(W = 625\,W\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda} \frac{\mathrm{dn}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{P}\)

\(F=\frac{h}{\lambda} \frac{d n}{d t}=\frac{P}{C}=\frac{625}{3 \times 10^{8}}\)

Momentum \(=\frac{625 \times 40 \times 60}{3 \times 10^{8}}=5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Ns}\)
