Determine the light pressure exerted on ...

Determine the light pressure exerted on the walls of an electric bulb of power `100 W`. The bulb is made in the form of a sphere of radius `5cm`, its walls reflect `10 %` of the incident light and the rest `90%` of the light is transmitted. Assume that the entire power consumed by the bulb is converted into radiation and transmitted light does not exert any pressure.

How many photons per second does a one watt bulb emit if its efficiency is 10% and the wavelength of light emitted is 500 nm

In a modified Young's double-slit experiment, a monochromatic uniform and parallel beam of light of wavelength 6000 Å and intensity (10//pi) W m^(-2) is incident normally on two circular apertures A and B of radii 0.001 m and 0.002 m, respectively. A perfectly transparent film of thickness 2000 Å and refractive index 1.5 for the wavelength of 6000 Å is placed in front of aperture A (see the figure). Calculate the power (in mW) received at the focal spot F of the lens. Then lens is symmetrically placed with respect to the aperture. Assume that 10% of the power received by each aperture goes in the original direction and is brought to the focal spot.
