WAVELENGTH
| c = speed of light 2.998 × 108 m/s |
| l= wavelength [m] |
| c=lf | f = frequency [Hz] |
| c=E / B | E = electric field [N/C] |
| B = magnetic field [T] |
| 1Å = 10-10m | Å= (angstrom) unit of wavelength equal to 10-10 m |
| m = (meters) |

1 Intensity of Electromagnetic Radiation [watts/m2]:
I=Ps /4pr2
I = intensity [w/m2]
Ps = power of source [watts]
r = distance [m]
4pr2 = surface area of sphere
2 Force and Radiation Pressure on an object:
(a) if the light is totally absorbed:
F=(IA/c) , Pr = (I/c)
F = force [N]
I = intensity [w/m2]
A = area [m2]
Pr = radiation pressure [N/m2]
c = 2.99792 × 108 [m/s]
(b) if the light is totally reflected back along the path:
F=(2IA / c) , Pr = (2I/c)
3 Poynting Vector [watts/m2]:
cB = E
m0 = the permeability of free
space 4p×10-7 T·m/A
E = electric field [N/C or V/M]
B = magnetic field [T]
c = 2.99792 × 108 [m/s]
