MCQ
Radiation pressure on any surface:
  • A
    Is dependent on wavelength of the light used
  • B
    Is dependent on nature of surface and intensity of light used
  • C
    Is dependent on frequency and nature of surface
  • D
    Depends on the nature of source from which light is coming and on nature of surface on which it is falling.

Answer

  1. Is dependent on nature of surface and intensity of light used

Explanation:

Radiation pressure is given by $\text{P}_\text{R}=\frac{(1+\alpha)\text{I}}{\text{C}}$

where α is the coefficient of reflection of the surface.

For completely reflecting surface $\alpha=1$

For completely absorbing surface $\alpha=0$

So, radiation pressure depends on the nature of surface on which the light is falling but independent of wavelength of light falling.
