Electromagnetic waves of energy flux $75 \times 10^4 \ W m^{-2}$ are incident normally on a surface of area $40 \ cm^2$. If the surface absorbs the flux completely,the total momentum delivered to the surface in one second is:

  • A
    $10^{-2} \ kg m s^{-1}$
  • B
    $10^{-3} \ kg m s^{-1}$
  • C
    $10^{-4} \ kg m s^{-1}$
  • D
    $10^{-5} \ kg m s^{-1}$
