Question:medium

Light with an energy flux of \(20 \, W \, cm^{-2}\) falls on a non-reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface has an area of \(25 \, cm^2\), then the total momentum delivered for complete absorption during a 15 minute time span is:

Show Hint

For absorption of light: momentum delivered = \(E/c\).
