The pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave of intensity `I (Wm^(-2))` on a non-reflecting surface is ( c is the velocity of light)A. `Ic`B. `Ic^(2)`C. `I//c`D. `I//c^(2)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C When a surface intercepts electromagenetic radiation, a force and a pressure are exerted on the surface. As the surface is non-reflecting , so it is completely abosorbed and in such case the force is `F = (IA)/(c)` The radiation pressure is the force per unit area, `P = (F)/(A) = (I)/(c)` |
