Q.

An object is placed in a medium of refractive index 3. An electromagnetic wave of intensity 6×108W/m2 falls normally on the object and it is absorbed completely. The radiation pressure on the object would be (speed of light in free space =3×108m/s)                 [2024]

1 36Nm-2  
2 18Nm-2  
3 6Nm-2  
4 2Nm-2  

Ans.

(3)       

              Radiation pressure=IV

                                                   =I·μc=6×108×33×108=6N/m2
