8.Electromagnetic waves
easy

Aplane electromagnetic wave is incident on a plane surface of area A normally, and is perfectly reflected. If energy $E$ strikes the surface in time $t$ then average pressure exerted on the surface is ( $c=$ speed of light)

A

$0$

B

$\frac{E}{ { Atc }}$

C

$\frac{2 E}{{ Atc }}$

D

$\frac{E}{c}$

Solution

(c)

$P=\frac{2 I}{c} \text { [Perfect reflection] }$

$=\frac{2 \times E}{\text { Atc }}$

$\therefore P=\frac{2 E}{\text { Atc }}$
