A plate of mass 10g is in equilibrium in air due to the force exerted by a light beam on the plate. Calculate power of the beam. Assume that the plate is perfectly absorbing.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For equilibrium the force exerted by the light beam should balance the weight of plate.
`F_(photon)=mg`
`(F_("photons"=(IA)/c=(P)/c "where power" P=IA)`
`implies(P)/(c)=10xx10^(-10)xx10`
`P=3xx10^(7)W`
