Sun light falls normally on a surface of area $36\,cm ^{2}$ and exerts an average force of $7.2 \times 10^{-9}\,N$ within a time period of $20$ minutes. Considering a case of complete absorption, the energy flux of incident light is.

A

$25.92 \times 10^{2}\,W / cm ^{2}$

B

$8.64 \times 10^{-6}\,W / cm ^{2}$

C

$6.0\,W / cm ^{2}$

D

$0.06\,W / cm ^{2}$

Solution

$\frac{I}{C} \times$ area $=$ force

$\frac{I}{C} \times 36 \times 10^{-4}=7.2 \times 10^{-9}$

$I =\frac{7.2 \times 10^{-9} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{36 \times 10^{-9} \times 10}$

$=\frac{6 \times 10^{-1}}{10^{-3}}$

$I =6 \times 10^{2} \frac{ w }{ m ^{2}}$

$=0.06 \frac{ w }{ cm ^{2}}$
