Answer:

a) 8.33 x 10^-6 Pa

b) 8.23 x 10^-11 atm

c) 1.67 x 10^-5 Pa

d) 1.65 x 10^-10 atm

Explanation:

Intensity of the light [tex]I[/tex] = 2500 W/m^2

speed of light [tex]c[/tex] = 3 x 10^8 m/s

a) we know that the pressure for for a totally absorbing surface is given as

[tex]P_{abs}[/tex] = [tex]I/c[/tex] = 2500/(3 x 10^8) = 8.33 x 10^-6 Pa

b) 1 atm = 101325 Pa

[tex]P_{abs}[/tex] = (8.33 x 10^-6)/101325 = 8.23 x 10^-11 atm

c) for a totally reflecting surface

[tex]P_{ref}[/tex] = [tex]2I/c[/tex] = twice the value for totally absorbing

[tex]P_{ref}[/tex]  = 2 x 8.33 x 10^-6 = 1.67 x 10^-5 Pa

d)  1 atm = 101325 Pa

[tex]P_{ref}[/tex] = 2 x 8.23 x 10^-11  = 1.65 x 10^-10 atm
