why is the amount of the momentum transferred by the em waves incident on the surface so small??
Dear Student,
Momentum associated with em wave is equal to h . h is of the order of 10–34, so momentum transferred with em waves is very small and hence momentum transferred by em waves incident on the surface is very small.
