1.

A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface. The wave delivers momentum p and energy E.A. `p=0, E=0`B. `p!=0, E!=0`C. `p!=0, E!=0`D. `p=0, E!=0`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
`EM` waves carry momentum and hence can exert pressure on surfaces. They also transfer energy to the surface so `p != 0` and `E!=0`.
