Radiation pressure on any surface (for given intensity):

Radiation pressure on any surface is :

Show that the radiations pressure exerted by an EM wave of intensity I on a surface kept in vacuum is I//c .

Show that the radiation pressure exerted by an EM wave of intensity I on a surface kept in vacuum is I//c .

Show that the radiation pressure exerted by an EM wave of intensity I on a surface kept in vacuum is I//c .

The incident intensity on a horizontal surface at sea level from the sun is about 1kW m^(-2) . Assuming that 50 per cent of this intensity is reflected and 50 per cent is absorbed, determine the radiation pressure on this horizontal surface (in pascals).

Which of the following is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given time (a) Radiation (b) Reflection (c) Insolation (d) Refraction
