Light with an energy flux of 20 W/cm2 falls on a non-reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface has an area of 30 cm2, the total momentum delivered (for complete absorption) during 30 min is
(a) 36 x 10-5 kg-m/s
(b) 36 x 10-4 kg-m/s
(c) 108 x 104 kg-m/s
(d) 1.08 x 107 kg-m/s

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(b) as we know momentum = energy transferred/speed of light
= = 36 10-4kgms-1
Momentum of reflected light =0
So momentum delivered is = 36 10-4kgms-1

According to definition of displacement current, we can write
B0 = 42.9 × 10-9
42.9 Ans
s? = -? + k? ∴ s? = (-? +k? )/√2
I = P/ (4πr²) . (i)
and I = (1/2)ε? E? ²c . (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
P/ (4πr²) = (1/2)ε? E? ²c
E? = √ (2P/ (4πε? r²c) ; E? = √ (9×10? ×2×15)/ (15×15×10? ×3×10? ) = 2×10? ³ V/m
