A totally absorbing surface having an area of 7.7 cm2 faces a small source of sinusoidal electromagnetic radiation that is 2.4 m away
At the surface, the electric field amplitude of the radiation is 84 V/m. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, ?0 = 4? × 10-7 T ? m/A, ?0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ? m2) (a) What is the radiation pressure exerted on the surface? (b) What is the total power output of the source, if it is assumed to radiate uniformly in all directions?
