What reading level is The Pressure of Light book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Theory shows that in a vacuum the momentum per length V of a beam, where V is the velocity of light, is equal to the energy per length i . This is fully confirmed by experiment, which shows also that it holds in gases at quite appreciable pressures.
Let us assume that it holds, too, in a solid medium, such as glass. Then we can prove as follows that the FIG. 37- force at the point of refraction is a pull outwards on the refracting medium.
Let us consider separately the reflected and refracted p...arts of a beam incident obliquely on a refracting medium. Let AB (fig. 37) be reflected along BC. Let AB represent the momentum per second brought to B by the part of the incident beam which is reflected. Then BC equal to AB will represent that in the reflected beam. Produce AB to D, making BD equal to AB or BC NOTES 8 9 Then momentum represented in magnitude and direc- tion by DC must be added to AB to convert it to BC, though it acts through B.
Then a force, CD, acts through B on the beam, and an equal and opposite force, DC, acts on the medium at B, that is, we have a normal pressure inwards.
