The speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum

A

increases as we move from `gamma-` rays waves

B

decreases as we move from `gamma-` rays to radio waves

C

is same for all of them

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Incident momentum, `p=(E)/(c)`
For perfectly reflecting surface with normal incidence
`Deltap=2p=(2E)/(c)" "F=(Deltap)/(Deltat)=(2E)/(ct)" "P=(F)/(A)=(2E)/(ctA)`
