A 24.5-mW laser beam of diameter 2.02 mm is reflected at normal incidence by a perfectly reflecting mirror. Calculate the radiation pressure on the mirror. Pa
A 5.0-mW laser beam has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.50 mm. What is the maximum radiation pressure that this laser can exert on (a) a mirrored surface and (b) a black surface?
A solar panel on a telescope is rectangular and is 7.56m in length and 2.45m wide. When the panel faces the sun directly, the force on it due to absorbed sunlight is 8.46x10^-5N. Calculate the radiation pressure and the intensity of sunlight at the telescope's location in space.
