Light is incident normally on a completely absorbing surface with an energy flux of $25\,W\,cm^{-2}.$ If the surface has an area of $25\,cm^2,$ the maximum momentum transferred to the surface in $40\,min$ time duration will be

  • A
    $6.3\times 10^{-4}\,Ns$
  • B
    $3.5\times 10^{-6}\,Ns$
  • C
    $5.0\times 10^{-3}\,Ns$
  • D
    $1.4\times 10^{-6}\,Ns$
