Q29.If 2. 5 × 10−6 N average force is exerted by a light wave on a non-reflecting surface of 30 cm2 area during 40 min of time span, the energy flux of light just before it falls on the surface is _______ W cm−2. (Round off to the Nearest Integer), (Assume complete absorption and normal incidence conditions are there)

What This Question Tests

This question tests the relationship between average force exerted by light on a non-reflecting surface and the energy flux of the light, requiring understanding of radiation pressure and conversion of units.

Concepts Tested

Radiation pressureMomentum of photonsEnergy flux

Formulas Used

F = (I_avg * A) / c (for complete absorption)

I = Energy / (Area * Time)

11.4 Monochromatic light of wavelength 632.8 nm is produced by a helium-neon laser. The power emitted is 9.42 mW. (a) Find the energy and momentum of each photon in the light beam, (b) How many photons per second, on the average, arrive at a target irradiated by this beam? (Assume the beam to have uniform cross-section which is less than the target area), and (c) How fast does a hydrogen atom have to travel in order to have the same momentum as that of the photon?
