Electromagnetic Radiation and Equation of Motion for Really Shaped Particle -- New Covariant Formulation
Abstract
Description
Relativistically covariant form of equation of motion for real particle (body) under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived. Equation of motion in the proper frame of the particle uses the radiation pressure cross section 3 $\times$ 3 matrix. Obtained covariant equation of motion is compared with another covariant equation of motion which was presented more than one year ago.
