Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The electromagnetic wave exerts pressure on the surface on which they are allowed to fall.
Reason $(R)$: There is no mass associated with the electromagnetic waves.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Light with an intensity of $18 \ W \ m^{-2}$ is incident normally on an opaque surface. If the area of the surface is $20 \ m^2$,calculate the average force exerted on the surface in $30 \ min$.

Light falls on a non-reflecting surface normally. If the average force exerted on a surface with area $15 \text{ cm}^2$ during a $20 \text{ minute}$ time interval is $10^{-6} \text{ N}$,then the energy flux (intensity) of light is (Velocity of light $= 3 \times 10^8 \text{ ms}^{-1}$)

$A$ beam of light with intensity $10^{-3} \text{ W m}^{-2}$ and cross-sectional area $20 \text{ cm}^2$ is incident on a fully reflective surface at an angle of $45^{\circ}$. The force exerted by the beam on the surface is:

If the total energy transferred to a surface in time $t$ is $6.48 \times 10^5 \,J$, then the magnitude of the total momentum delivered to this surface for complete absorption will be:
