Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface, the wave delivers momentum p and energy E, then
A
p ≠ 0, E ≠ 0
B
p = 0, E = 0
C
p = 0, E ≠ 0
D
p ≠ 0, E = 0
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
When plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface, the wave delivers some momentum and energy to the surface and hence p ≠ 0 and E ≠ 0.
