Radiation pressure on any surface (for given intensity):

A

is dependent on wavelength of the light used

B

is dependent on nature of surface and intensity of light used

C

is dependent on frequency and nature of surface

D

depends on the nature of source from which light is coming and on nature of surface on which it is falling.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The radiation pressure `=(1+rho)(I)/(C )Cos^(2)theta`
where `rho=` coefficent of refection
