Light having an energy flux of $40 \ Wcm^{-2}$ falls on a non-reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface has an area of $20 \ cm^2$,the total momentum delivered (for complete absorption) during $10 \ min$ is:

  • A
    $24 \times 10^{-5} \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^{-4} \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $102 \times 10^4 \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $1.03 \times 10^7 \ kg \ ms^{-1}$
