Radiation pressure on any surface (for given intensity):

A

is dependent on wavelength of the light used

B

is dependent on nature of surface and intensity of light used

C

is dependent on frequency and nature of surface

D

depends on the nautre of source from which light is coming and on nautre of surface on which it is falling.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The radiation pressrue
`P=(F)/(A)=((2h)/(lambda))(N)/(A)=2(I)/(C )`
if reflected completely. It is independent of wavelength. It will depend on the nature of the surface and the intensity of light.
