Electromagnetic radiation of intensity \(0.6 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\) is falling on a black surface. The radiation pressure on the surface is

  1. A \(2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(6 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radiation pressure on the surface is given by \(\begin{aligned} & P=\frac{I}{C}=\frac{0.6}{3 \times 10^8} \\ & =2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\end{aligned}\)
