Light with an energy flux of $25 \times 10^4 \, W/m^2$ falls on a perfectly reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface area is $15 \, cm^2$,the average force exerted on the surface is:

  • A
    $1.25 \times 10^{-6} \, N$
  • B
    $2.50 \times 10^{-6} \, N$
  • C
    $1.2 \times 10^{-6} \, N$
  • D
    $3 \times 10^{-6} \, N$
