Explanation:
Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves. These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd. You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.
Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave. In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium. Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.
Answer:
The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N
(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.
Explanation:
Given;
cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²
intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²
If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;
P = I/c
where;
P is the pressure of the incident light
I is the intensity of the incident light
c is the speed of light
F = PA
where;
F is the force of the incident light on the man
P is the pressure of the incident light on the man
A is the cross-sectional area of the man
F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N
The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N
Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.
