A radio wave transmits 34.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagati

on of the wave. Assuming the surface is a perfect absorber, calculate the radiation pressure on it.

Answer:

1.15*10^-7 N/m²

Explanation:

Radiation pressure is the pressure exerted on any surface, as a result of the exchange of momentum between the object and its electromagnetic field.

The formula to calculate radiation pressure on a perfect absorber is

P = s/c, where

P = radiation pressure

s = intensity of light

c = speed of light

Now, on substituting the values and plugging it into the equation, we have

P = 34.5 / 3*10^8

P = 1.15*10^-7 N/m²

therefore, radiation pressure is found to be 1.15*10^-7 N/m²

Testing shows that a sample of wood from an artifact contains 25% of the
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The artifact is 11,460 years old.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730  years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.

So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half

Initially there will be 100% of the sample so

after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent

Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.

after next 5730 years  the sample reduces into 25% percent

So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%

That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years
