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)
$P=\frac{2 I}{c} \text { [Perfect reflection] }$
$=\frac{2 \times E}{\text { Atc }}$
$\therefore P=\frac{2 E}{\text { Atc }}$
