50 W/m2 energy density of sunlight is normally incident on the surface of a solar panel. Some part of incident energy (25%) is reflected from the surface and the rest is absorbed. The force exerted on 1m2 surface area will be close to (c=3 108 m/s): |

(a) |
20 10−8 N |
(b) |
35 10−8 N |
(c) |
15 10−8 N |
(d) |
10 10−8 N |

p= and pressure =I/c
∴ + ⇒ for one photon
∴ =pressure
But =50 W/m2
∴ =Pressure
∴ Fn= =20 10−8 N
