The pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface can be calculated by the formula:
Pressure (P) = Energy / (Area × Time)
We are given:
- Energy = E
- Area = A
- Time = t
- Speed of light = c
Since the wave is perfectly reflected, the pressure is twice that of a non-reflected wave.
Therefore, the formula for the average pressure exerted on the surface is:
P = 2E / (A × c)
The correct answer is: 2E / (A × c)
