$A$ beam of white light is incident normally on a plane surface absorbing $70\%$ of the light and reflecting the rest. If the incident beam carries $10\,W$ of power,find the force exerted by it on the surface :-

  • A
    $4.33 \times 10^{-8} \, N$
  • B
    $5.76 \times 10^{-8} \, N$
  • C
    $10.11 \times 10^{-6} \, N$
  • D
    None
