A plan electromagnetic wave with a linear polarization is defined by Ē = £EekzZ-iwt B = ŷVµeE eïk=z-iwt a) Calculate the energy carried by this radiation. Write unit please. b) Calculate the momentum density carried by this radiation. c) From the energy conservation, show that the pressure (radiation pressure) acting on a surface perpendicular to and exactly absorbing this plane wave is equal to the energy per unit volume of the wave.
