A plane 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 ( speed of light)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
2E/Atc
Option C (2E/Atc) is correct because the average pressure exerted is twice the energy divided by the area, time, and speed of light, accounting for perfect reflection.
