$A$ light beam of intensity $20 \,W/cm^2$ is incident normally on a perfectly reflecting surface of sides $25 \,cm \times 15 \,cm$. The momentum imparted to the surface by the light per second is

Electromagnetic radiation of intensity $0.6 \ W/m^2$ is falling on a black surface. The radiation pressure on the surface is

An impulse laser may be treated as a source of photons that are emitted during the time interval of the pulse,which is followed by a time interval when no photons are produced. Pulses are periodically repeated. $A$ laser beam of diameter $d = 10 \, \mu m$ is directed upward and is perpendicular to the thin foil surface which has a reflection coefficient $\rho = 0.50$ (see the sketch of the experiment). The reflection coefficient of the surface is the ratio of the reflected energy to the incident energy. $A$ pulse with duration of $0.13 \, ms$ has a total energy of $10 \, J$. What is the mass of the piece of foil that can be supported in the air solely by the light pressure of the laser beam? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
