$A$ pulse of light of duration $100 \ ns$ is absorbed completely by a small object initially at rest. The power of the pulse is $30 \ mW$ and the speed of light is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$. The final momentum of the object is:

Average force exerted on a non-reflecting surface at normal incidence is $2.4 \times 10^{-4} \,N$. If $360 \,W/cm^2$ is the light energy flux during a span of $1$ hour $30$ minutes,then the area of the surface is: (in $\,m^2$)

$50\, W/m^2$ energy density of sunlight is normally incident on the surface of a solar panel. Some part of incident energy $(25\%)$ is reflected from the surface and the rest is absorbed. The force exerted on $1\, m^2$ surface area will be close to $(c = 3 \times 10^8\, m/s)$.

If the total energy transferred to a surface in time $t$ is $6.48 \times 10^5 \,J$, then the magnitude of the total momentum delivered to this surface for complete absorption will be:

If the radiant energy received from an electric bulb per second is $25 \ J/s$ and the velocity of electromagnetic waves is $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,then the force exerted on the surface in one second is:
