$A$ 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.

$A$ $1.5 \,kW$ laser beam of wavelength $6400 \,\mathring A$ is used to levitate a thin aluminium disc of the same area as the cross-section of the beam. The laser light is reflected by the aluminium disc without any absorption. The mass of the foil is close to ......... $kg$.

$A$ beam of white light is incident normally on a plane surface absorbing $70\%$ of the light and reflecting the rest. If the incident beam carries $10\,W$ of power,find the force exerted by it on the surface :-

View Solution

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:

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)
