Presses due to completely reflecting surface = \frac{2I}{C}

Net \ \ force =\frac{2I}{C} Area\\ Now \ \ I =\frac{\text { Power }}{\text { Area }}=\frac{\text { Power }}{4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2}

\text { From } F_{\text {net }}=\frac{2 I}{C} \times \text { Projected Area }

\begin{aligned} & F_{\text {net }}=\frac{2}{C} \times \frac{\text { Power }}{4 \pi r^2} \times \pi r^2 \\ & F_{\text {net }}=\frac{2 \times 24}{3 \times 10^8 \times 4}=4 \times 10^{-8} \end{aligned}
