Radiations of intensity $0.5\,\,W/{m^2}$ are striking a metal plate. The pressure on the plate is

A

$0.166 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N/{m^2}$

B

$0.332 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N/{m^2}$

C

$0.111 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N/{m^2}$

D

$0.083 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N/{m^2}$

Solution

(a) Intensity or power per unit area of the radiations $P = fv$

==> $f = \frac{P}{v} = \frac{{0.5}}{{3 \times {{10}^8}}} = 0.166 \times {10^{ – 8}}\,N/{m^2}$
