To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the process of calculating the average force exerted by light on the surface. ### Step 1: Calculate the Power of the Light The intensity of the light is given as \( I = 20 \, \text{W/cm}^2 \) and the area of the surface is \( A = 25 \, \text{cm}^2 \). Power \( P \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ P = I \times A ...
