The radiant energy from the Sun incident on the Earth's surface is $2 \ cal/cm^2 \cdot min$. If the average wavelength of solar radiation is $5500 \ \mathring A$,then the number of photons incident per minute on a surface area of $1 \ cm^2$ on the Earth's surface is ............ $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, 1 \ cal = 4.2 \ J)$

  • A
    $1.5 \times 10^{13}$

$A$ perfectly reflecting mirror of mass $M$ mounted on a spring constitutes a spring-mass system of angular frequency $\Omega$ such that $\frac{4 \pi M \Omega}{h} = 10^{24} \text{ m}^{-2}$,where $h$ is Planck's constant. $N$ photons of wavelength $\lambda = 8 \pi \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}$ strike the mirror simultaneously at normal incidence such that the mirror gets displaced by $1 \mu\text{m}$.
