Professor C.V. Raman’s demonstration was based on the radiation pressure exerted by e.m. waves. Tails of coments are due to pressure exerted due to solar radiation.
Class 12 Physics Chapter 8 Electromagnetic Waves Session 2024-2025.
Professor C.V. Raman surprised his students by suspending freely a tiny light ball in a transparent vaccum chamber by shining a laser beam on it. Which propertyof e.m. waves was he exhibiting? give one more example of this property?
