A light source radiates a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave uniformly in all directions. This wave exerts an average

Question:

A light source radiates a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave uniformly in all directions. This wave exerts an average pressure p on a perfectly reflecting surface a distance R away from it. What average pressure (in terms of p) would this wave exert on a perfectly absorbing surface that was twice as far from the source?
