A beam of white light is incident normally on a plane surface absorbing 70% of the light and reflecting the rest. If the incident beam carries 10 W of power, the force exerted by it on the surface is

  1. A 3.3×10-8 N
  2. B 4.33×10-8 N
  3. C 2.3×10-8 N
  4. D 3.53×10-8 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4.33×10-8 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force=change in momentum per second =force due to absorption of light+force due to reflection of light 70100×Pc+230100×Pc=1.3×103×108=4.33×10-8 N
