(C) The energy flux $I = 9 \ Wcm^{-2} = 9 \times 10^4 \ Wm^{-2}$.The area $A = 20 \ cm^2 = 20 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$.The time $t = 1 \ hour = 3600 \ s$.The speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ ms^{-1}$.For a non-reflecting surface, the momentum $p$ delivered by radiation is given by $p = \frac{U}{c} = \frac{IAt}{c}$.Substituting the values:$p = \frac{(9 \times 10^4) \times (20 \times 10^{-4}) \times 3600}{3 \times 10^8}$.$p = \frac{180 \times 3600}{3 \times 10^8} = \frac{648000}{3 \times 10^8} = 216000 \times 10^{-8} \ kgms^{-1}$.$p = 2.16 \times 10^{-3} \ kgms^{-1}$.

$A$ point source of light is placed at the centre of curvature of a hemispherical surface. The source emits a power of $24 \, W$. The radius of curvature of the hemisphere is $10 \, cm$ and the inner surface is completely reflecting. The force on the hemisphere due to the light falling on it is $.......... \times 10^{-8} \, N$.
