Calculate the radiation pressure felt by the jupiter


The sun has a power output of 3.9 x 10^26 j/s in luminous light. (jupiter's distance is 7.8 x 10^11 m , it's radius is 66,854 km and it's mass is 1.90 x 10^27 kg)

1). calculate the radiation pressure felt by the jupiter.

2). how long sunlight have to push on jupiter to change the orital radius by 1%?

3). if the average photon from the sun has a wavelength of 550 nm, what are the frequencies of those photons?

4). this wavelength corresponds to an energy of 3.6 x 10^-19 j , how many photons arrive at the surface of jupiter per second?
