    The pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave of intensity / \[(W/{{m}^{2}})\] on a non-reflecting surface is : [c is the velocity of light]

    A) \[Fdx={{K}_{f}}-\frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^{2}\]

    B)                       \[F.dx={{K}_{f}}-\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times {{(10)}^{2}}\]                            

    C)       \[\Rightarrow \]                              

    D)       \[F.dx={{K}_{f}}-500\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: Force per unit area is the radiation pressure. When a surface intercepts electromagnetic radiation, a force and a pressure are exerted on the surface. As the surface is non-reflecting, so, it is completely absorbed and in such case the force is, \[\frac{\Delta V}{V}\alpha {{B}^{-2}}\] where I is intensity of light. A is area of surface and c is velocity of electromagnetic wave. The radiation pressure is the force per unit area i.e.,   \[\sin \omega t-\cos t\omega t\]
