Explanation

**Momentum of EM wave** p = U/c, U energy, radiation pressure exerts force F = I A/c, small but measurable, comet tail pushed by sunlight, solar sail concept. For E₀=45 V/m, B₀=1.5×10⁻⁷ T, intensity I =0.5×3×10⁸×8.85×10⁻¹²×45²≈2.69 W/m². The document states that infrared waves range from 1 mm to 700 nm . Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields 1 mm to 700 nm, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
