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
    $20 \times 10^4 \text{ Wm}^{-2}$
  • B
    $15 \times 10^4 \text{ Wm}^{-2}$
  • C
    $25 \times 10^4 \text{ Wm}^{-2}$
  • D
    $10 \times 10^4 \text{ Wm}^{-2}$
