To solve the problem of finding the force exerted on a totally reflecting plane mirror by photons striking it, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We are given: - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 221 \, \text{nm} = 221 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Angle of incidence, \( \theta = 30^\circ \) - Number of photons striking the mirror per second, \( n = 10^{20} \, \text{photons/s} \) ...
