Correct Answer: P = U/C


Solution : The correct option is P = U/C.

The equation verified by American scientists Nichols and Hull in 1903 by measuring the radiation pressure of visible light is P = U/C.

Here P is the radiation pressure, U is the energy carried by the light, and C is the speed of light in a vacuum.

This equation expresses the concept that the radiation pressure exerted by light is proportional to the energy it carries and inversely proportional to the speed of light.
