(a)
Interpretation:
The force exerted by the sail for the spacecraft designed to work by photon pressure which sail was completely absorbing fabric of given area 1 km2 and directed a red laser beam with λ 650 nm has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Louis de Broglie in 1923 rationalized that when light shows particle aspects, then particles of matter display properties of waves under definite circumstances.
λ = hm υp = m υHence λ = hp
h is Planck’s constant(6.63 × 10-34 J.s) which relates energy and frequency.
υ is the speed of particle.
m is the mass of particle.
λ is the wavelength.
p is the momentum.
The above equation is called de Broglie relation.
The force exerted is identified by multiplying photon momentum with Avogadro’s number.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
Given:
Fabric area ⇒A = 1 km2
Wavelength ⇒λ = 650 nm
The force is determined by multiplying the photon momentum with
