A plane electromagnetic wave of wave intensity strikes a small mirror of area , held perpendicular to the approaching wave. The the mirror each second will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Option A () is correct because the momentum transferred is calculated using the formula p = 2IA/c, where I is the intensity, A is the area, and c is the speed of light.

Statement I: Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
Statement II: Sound waves require a material medium for propagation. For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field and magnetic field respectively? Assertion: The relative velocity of two photons travelling in opposite directions is the velocity of light.
Reason: The rest mass of photon is zero Intensity of electromagnetic wave will be The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is . The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is Methane is a greenhouse gas because
