Show that the radiation pressure exerted by an EM wave of intensity I on a surface kept in vacuum is I//c .

The incident intensity on a horizontal surface at sea level from the sun is about 1kW m^(-2) . Assuming that 50 per cent of this intensity is reflected and 50 per cent is absorbed, determine the radiation pressure on this horizontal surface (in pascals).

In the photoelectric effect experiment, if f is the frequency of radiation incident on the metal surface and I is the intensity of the intensity radiations, then match the following columns:

(A) : The radiation force on an absorbing surface is twice that on a reflecting surface. (R) : The radiation force on a reflecting surface is twice that on an absorbing surface.
