A small mirror of area A and mass m is suspended in a vertical plane by a weightless string. A beam of light of intensity I falls normally on the mirror and the string is deflected from the vertical by a very small angle `theta` Assuming the mirror to be perfectly reflecting, obtain an expression for `theta`
