Modern Physics/EMW

Exactly how is the energy being transfered to the sphere if all the light passes through the hemisphere? Also what should be the approach to this?

hmm ping me when you get ans also can you send the question could they be simply referring to energy / vol in hemisphere

glass hemishphere is solid or hollow?

I presume solid.

i assume when light changes mediums lamda also changes that will change momentum , Lmada = h/p change in momentum = force

Ah. Nice catch. Will try to move on from here.

ye i try too

Wait, in the energy momenta equation E=p.c, does c refer to speed of light in that medium or the speed of light in vacuum?

idk ye no clue on how to move forward if u get another lead tell

speed of light toh is like same in all medium

*Effective speed.

Use E = h(nu) The c is going to be the speed in vacuum, not in medium.

Ah, but then there is no energy loss in the question, so where does the power go?

Oh mb i just gave the energy stored. I didn't see the whole question @SirLancelotDuLac did you get this? If not, this might be worth a trip to PhODS

Ah, I forgot about it. Wait I might have recieved a solution for this.

This was the solution provided @Opt

Ah, I was somewhat close, but I took the small angle approximations in the wrong place
SirLancelotDuLac
SirLancelotDuLacOP5mo ago
The math in this is absolute hell tbh.

Yup I believe I had an extra nR/δ term or something of the sort

Yeah, the momentum lost in z-direction was the reason I overlooked. +solved @Opt
