1. Radiation pressure: normal stresses at interfaces
1.1 Fundamental aspects: momentum conservation at the interface
To describe the origin of optical radiation pressure, we generally consider the propagation of a light wave through two transparent dielectric media with different refractive indices , separated by an interface; the indices and refer to incidence and transmission,...
