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 10kg-m/s

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(b) as we know momentum = energy transferred/speed of light

= 20 * 30 * 30 * 60 3 * 10 8 = 36 * 10-4kgms-1

Momentum of reflected light =0

So momentum delivered is = 36 * 10-4kgms-1
