$A$ totally reflecting small plane mirror placed horizontally faces a parallel beam of light as shown in the figure. The mass of the mirror is $20 \, g$. Assume that there is no absorption in the lens and that $30 \%$ of the light emitted by the source goes through the lens. Find the power of the source needed to support the weight of the mirror in $MW$ (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$ and $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$):-

$A$ point source of light is placed at the centre of curvature of a hemispherical surface. The source emits a power of $24 \, W$. The radius of curvature of the hemisphere is $10 \, cm$ and the inner surface is completely reflecting. The force on the hemisphere due to the light falling on it is $.......... \times 10^{-8} \, N$.

Sunlight falls normally on a surface of area $36 \, cm^{2}$ and exerts an average force of $7.2 \times 10^{-9} \, N$ within a time period of $20 \, minutes$. Considering a case of complete absorption,the energy flux of incident light is:
