(d) The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric field vector E and magnetic field vector B, i.e., in the direction of E*B .

This can be seen by the diagram given below

(b) as we know momentum = energy transferred/speed of light

= 20 * 30 * 30 * 60 3 * 10 8 = 36 * 10-4kgms-1

Momentum of reflected light =0

So momentum delivered is = 36 * 10-4kgms-1

(b) the electromagnetic wave is 

Er = Eoicos (kz-wt)

And reflected wave is given by

Er = -E0 (-i)cos (k (-z)+wt+ π )

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Since, electric field of an EM wave is an oscillating field and so is the electric force caused by it on a charged particle. This electric force averaged over an integral number of cycles is zero, since its direction changes every half cycle.

Hence, electric field is not responsible for radiation pressure.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

As the distance is doubled, the area of spherical region ( 4πr2 )

will become four times, so the intensity becomes one fourth the initial value but in case of laser it does not spread, so its intensity remain same.

Geometrical characteristic of LASER beam which is responsible for the constant intensity are as following

(i) Unidirectional

(ii) Monochromatic

(iii) Coherent light

(iv) Highly collimated

These characteristic are missing in the case of light from the bulb.

Pressure = force/area

Force =dp/dt

U=p.C or p= U/c

Pressure = 1 A . U C . d t

Pressure = I/C
