The intensity of direct sunlight before...

The intensity of direct sunlight before it passes through the
earth's atmosphere is `1.4kW//m^2`. If it is completely absorbed, find the
corresponding radiation pressure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For completely absorbing surface,
`P_(rod)=(I)/(c)=(1.4xx10^3)/(3.0xx10^8)=4.66xx10^-6m^-2`
