Hey !!
Yes, EM waves carry energy E and momentum P. As the electromagnetic waves contain both electric and magnetic fields, there is non-zero energy density associated with it.
E = hc / λ
=> P = U / c = mc
Here, c = speed of EM wave in vacuum
λ = wavelength of EM wave
U = total energy transferred to the surface.
Good luck !!
