To find the radiation force on a mirror when a plane electromagnetic wave strikes it, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, \( I = 10 \, \text{W/m}^2 \) - Area of the mirror, \( A = 20 \, \text{cm}^2 = 20 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \) (since \( 1 \, \text{cm}^2 = 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \)) - Speed of light, \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) ...
