Radiation Pressure

Radiation Pressure is the mechanical pressure exerted by electromagnetic radiation on a surface due to the transfer of momentum from photons to the surface, distinguishing it from other radiative phenomena by its direct dependence on the intensity and direction of the incident electromagnetic waves.
