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 !!
