$A$ 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 $.......... \times 10^{-8} \, N$.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The electromagnetic wave exerts pressure on the surface on which they are allowed to fall.
Reason $(R)$: There is no mass associated with the electromagnetic waves.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
