Question

Classical explanation for radiation pressure?

Answer 1

Radiation pressure is the pressure exerted upon any surface due to the exchange of momentum between the object and the electromagnetic field. ... Radiation pressure can equally well be accounted for by considering the momentum of a classicalelectromagnetic field or in terms of the momenta of photons, particles of light.
