Show, by giving a simple example, how EM waves carry energy and momentum.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The EM waves are produced by the accelerated charge. The electron jumping from outer to inner orbit of the electron radiates EM waves. EM waves are propagated as electric & magnetic fields oscillation in mutually perpendicular directions which shows that EM waves carry momentum & energy.
