Q. An object is placed in a medium of refractive index 3. An electromagnetic wave of intensity 6 × 108 W/m² falls normally on the object and it is absorbed completely. The radiation pressure on the object would be (speed of light in free space = 3 × 108 m/s) :
(jee mains 2024)
1. 36 Nm-²
2. 18 Nm-²
3. 6 Nm-²
4. 2 Nm-²
(3) -
Radiation pressure = I /V
= Ιμ/C
=6×108×3/3×108
= 6 N/m²
