Radiation pressure exerted by a light beam on refractive spheres: theoretical and experimental study

Year: 1977

Type: article

Abstract: A theoretical calculation of forces exerted by a light beam on refractive spheres and experiments showing the agreement between experimental observations and theoretical calculations are presented. Only spheres which are large compared with the wavelength of light are considered, thus allowing the geometrical optics approach.
