Choose the correct option for the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Assertion
A perfectly specular reflecting sphere and a perfectly absorbing sphere of the same radius can experience the same net radiation force along the direction of a broad uniform parallel incident beam.
Reason
For a reflecting sphere, the larger momentum change produced by reflection at each surface element is offset by the variation of incidence angle over the curved illuminated surface.
