Given
A perfectly reflecting mirror has an area of 1 cm² Light energy is allowed to fall on it 1 h at the rate of 10 W cm²
To Find
The force that acts on the mirror
Solution
We know that,
We also know that,
Hence,
So,
We know that,
Therefore,
According to the question,
We are asked to find the force that acts on the mirror
Given that,
A perfectly reflecting mirror has an area of 1 cm² Light energy is allowed to fall on it 1 h at the rate of 10 W cm²
Hence,
- E = 10 J
On reflecting mirror,
We know that,
Here,
- F = Force
- Δω = change in momentum
Hence,
Change in momentum per second is given as,
We know that,
- c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
By Substituting the values,
We get,
On further simplification,
We get,
Therefore,

We know that,
\red{\sf \longrightarrow p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}}⟶p=
λ
h
We also know that,
\blue{\sf \longrightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{c}{v}}⟶λ=
v
c
Hence,
\sf \longrightarrow p=\dfrac{h}{(c/v)}⟶p=
(c/v)
h
So,
\sf \longrightarrow p=\dfrac{hv}{c}⟶p=
c

We know that,
\green{\sf \longrightarrow E=hv}⟶E=hv
Therefore,

According to the question,
We are asked to find the force that acts on the mirror
Given that,
A perfectly reflecting mirror has an area of 1 cm² Light energy is allowed to fall on it 1 h at the rate of 10 W cm²
Hence,
E = 10 J
On reflecting mirror,
We know that,
\pink{\sf \longrightarrow F=\Delta \omega}⟶F=Δω
Here,
F = Force
Δω = change in momentum
Hence,
Change in momentum per second is given as,
\blue{\sf \longrightarrow F=2p=\dfrac{2E}{c}}⟶F=2p=
c
2E
We know that,
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
By Substituting the values,
We get,
\green{\sf \implies F=2p=\dfrac{2 \times 10}{3 \times 10^{8}}}⟹F=2p=
3×10
8
2×10
On further simplification,
We get,
\orange{\sf \implies F=6.7 \times 10^{-8} \ N}⟹F=6.7×10

Therefore,
\pink{\sf \star \ Force \ (F)=6.7 \times 10^{-8} \ N}⋆ Force (F)=6.7×10
