  • question_answer
    The incident intensity on a horizontal surface at sea level from sun is about \[\text{1kW}\,{{\text{m}}^{-2}}\]. Assuming that 50 percent of this intensity is reflected and 50 percent is absorbed, the radiation pressure on this horizontal surface is

    A) \[5\times {{10}^{-11}}Pa\]       

    B) \[5\times {{10}^{-6}}Pa\]

    C) \[1\times {{10}^{-6}}Pa\]        

    D) \[1\times {{10}^{-11}}Pa\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]: Pressure exerted by absorbed light\[=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{I}{c} \right)\] Pressure exerted by reflected light Total radiation pressure on the surface is, \[{{P}_{rad}}=\frac{\frac{3}{2}I}{c}=\frac{1.5\times {{10}^{3}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}=5\times {{10}^{-6}}Pa\]
