Question:

Radiations of intensity 0.5 Wm-2 are striking a metal plate. The pressure on the plate is

Options:

0.166 × 10−8 Nm−2

0.332 × 10−8 Nm−2

0.111 × 10−8 Nm−2

0.083 × 10−8 Nm−2

Correct Answer:

0.166 × 10−8 Nm−2

Explanation:

Intensity or power per unit area of the radiations,

$ P = pv$

$ ⇒ p = \frac{P}{v}$

$ =\frac{0.5}{3×10^8} = 0.166 × 10^{-8}\, Nm^{-2}$
