$A$ plate of mass $10 \text{ g}$ is in equilibrium in air due to the force exerted by a light beam on the plate. Calculate the power of the beam,if the plate is perfectly absorbing.

Light falls on a non-reflecting surface normally. If the average force exerted on a surface with area $15 \text{ cm}^2$ during a $20 \text{ minute}$ time interval is $10^{-6} \text{ N}$,then the energy flux (intensity) of light is (Velocity of light $= 3 \times 10^8 \text{ ms}^{-1}$)

$A$ parallel beam of light is incident normally on a plane surface absorbing $50\%$ of the light and reflecting the rest. If the incident beam carries $90 \text{ W}$ of power,the force exerted by it on the surface is ($C = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}$ is the velocity of light in air).

Find the compression in the spring with spring constant $K = 5 \ N/m$ which is attached to a metal plate of area $50 \ m^2$. Light of intensity $I = 40 \ MW/m^2$ is incident at an angle of $60^o$ on the metal plate,and the coefficient of reflection is $\rho = 0.5$ for the plate. (in $m$)

$A$ point source of light is placed at the centre of curvature of a hemispherical surface. The source emits a power of $24 \, W$. The radius of curvature of the hemisphere is $10 \, cm$ and the inner surface is completely reflecting. The force on the hemisphere due to the light falling on it is $.......... \times 10^{-8} \, N$.

Radiations of intensity $0.5 \ Wm^{-2}$ are striking a metal plate. The pressure exerted on the plate is:
