Light having an energy flux of $40 \ Wcm^{-2}$ falls on a non-reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface has an area of $20 \ cm^2$,the total momentum delivered (for complete absorption) during $10 \ min$ is:

  • A
    $24 \times 10^{-5} \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^{-4} \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $102 \times 10^4 \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $1.03 \times 10^7 \ kg \ ms^{-1}$

$A$ 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 $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$):-

$A$ radiation of energy $E$ falls normally on a perfectly reflecting surface. The momentum transferred to the surface is ($C =$ velocity of light).

What is the force exerted on a surface having an area of $10\, cm^2$ due to the radiation of the Sun?

$A$ plate of mass $10 \text{ g}$ is in equilibrium in air due to the force exerted by a light beam on the plate. Calculate the power of the beam,if the plate is perfectly absorbing.

If $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N$ average force is exerted by a light wave on a non-reflecting surface of $30 \ cm^{2}$ area during $40$ minutes of time span,the energy flux of light just before it falls on the surface is .................. $W/cm^{2}$. (Round off to the Nearest Integer) (Assume complete absorption and normal incidence conditions are there)
