Even though an electric field E exerts a force qE on a charged particle yet electric field of an EM wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.
Even though an electric field E exerts a force qE on a charged particle yet electric field of an EM wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Since, electric field of an EM wave is an oscillating field and so is the electric force caused by it on a charged particle. This electric force averaged over an integral number of cycles is zero, since its direction changes every h
