Answer: The paper will start working after sometime. This is because the sunlight contains heat radiation. When these heat radiation are concentrated at a point on the paper, the temperature of the paper increases due to the observation of heat radiation. Hence, the paper starts burning when the temperature of the paper is more than its ignition temperature.
