Practicing Success
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface. The wave delivers momentum p and energy E. Then: |
p ≠ 0, E ≠ 0 p = 0, E = 0 p = 0, E ≠ 0 p ≠ 0, E = 0 |
p ≠ 0, E ≠ 0 |
When plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface, the wave delivers some momentum and energy to the surface and hence p ≠ 0 and E ≠ 0. |
