One problem with x rays is that they are not sensed.

The energy of the x-ray photons is 200 keV, and $4\text{.}\text{00}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{13}}$ of them are absorbed per kilogram of tissue, the specific heat of which is $0\text{.}\text{830 kcal/kg}\cdot \text{ºC}$ .

Integrated Concepts

The momentum of light is exactly reversed when reflected straight back from a mirror, assuming negligible recoil of the mirror. Thus the change in momentum is twice the photon momentum. Suppose light of intensity $1\text{.}{\text{00 kW/m}}^2$ reflects from a mirror of area $2\text{.}{\text{00 m}}^2$ . (a) Calculate the energy reflected in 1.00 s. (b) What is the momentum imparted to the mirror? (c) Using the most general form of Newton’s second law, what is the force on the mirror? (d) Does the assumption of no mirror recoil seem reasonable?

Integrated Concepts

Sunlight above the Earth’s atmosphere has an intensity of $1\text{.}\text{30}{\text{kW/m}}^2$ . If this is reflected straight back from a mirror that has only a small recoil, the light’s momentum is exactly reversed, giving the mirror twice the incident momentum. (a) Calculate the force per square meter of mirror. (b) Very low mass mirrors can be constructed in the near weightlessness of space, and attached to a spaceship to sail it. Once done, the average mass per square meter of the spaceship is 0.100 kg. Find the acceleration of the spaceship if all other forces are balanced. (c) How fast is it moving 24 hours later?
