Q68 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2) · Physics
Light is incident normally on a completely absorbing surface with an energy flux of . If the surface has an area of , the momentum transferred to the surface in time duration will be:
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
The power of the incident light is
Energy incident per second,
Momentum incident per second,
Total momentum transferred to the surface
Energy incident per second,
Momentum incident per second,
Total momentum transferred to the surface
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
