The radiation produced by a 100 W bulb has the following property
The radiation produced by a 100 W bulb has the following property
Show Hint
If light had no momentum, "Solar Sails" would not work in space. The fact that light can push objects is proof that it carries momentum alongside energy.

- The radiation is in the form of an electromagnetic wave which carries energy but not momentum
- The radiation is in the form of an electromagnetic wave which carries momentum but not energy
- The radiation is in the form of an electromagnetic wave which carries both energy and momentum
- The radiation neither carries energy nor momentum
- The intensity of radiation is independent of the distance from source
