A flashlight of intensity \(9 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{cm}^2\) illuminates a perfectly reflective surface of area \(300 \mathrm{~cm}^2\). The average force exerted on the surface due to the incident light photons is

  1. A \(0 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(14 \mu \mathrm{N}\)
  3. C \(18 \mu \mathrm{N}\)
  4. D \(12 \mu \mathrm{N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(18 \mu \mathrm{N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, intensity of flash light, \(I=9 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{cm}^2\) \(=9 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^2\) Area, \(A=300 \mathrm{~cm}^2=3 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^2\) \(\therefore\) Radiation pressure due to incident light photon,…
