Resolution of the abraham-minkowski dilemma.
The dilemma of identifying the correct form for the momentum of light in a medium has run for a century and has been informed by many distinguished contributions, both theoretical and experimental. We show that both the Abraham and Minkowski forms of the momentum density are correct, with the former being the kinetic momentum and the latter the canonical momentum. This identification allows us ...
متن کاملAbraham, Minkowski and “Hidden” Mechanical Momentum
In general, D = E + 4πP and H = B − 4πM, where P and M are the densities of electric and magnetic polarization, respectively, while Abraham (and Minkowski) considered only linear media, where D = E and B = μH. All media except vacuum have both and μ different from unity. However, most media have μ , and most discussion [2] of the Abraham and Minkowski momenta assume that μ = 1. In this idealize...
متن کاملThe momentum of light in media: the Abraham-Minkowski controversy
The controversy arises due to Abraham's and Minkowski's calculations disagreeing as to whether the momentum carried by an electromagnetic field is increased or decreased by the presence of a refractive medium. This paper starts by providing an overview of the life of Abraham and Minkowski. The opinions on the controversy, and solutions for the controversy proposed by physicists over the past ce...
متن کاملOptical momentum and angular momentum in complex media: from the Abraham–Minkowski debate to unusual properties of surface plasmon-polaritons
Weexamine themomentum and angularmomentum (AM) properties ofmonochromatic optical fields in dispersive and inhomogeneous isotropicmedia, using the AbrahamandMinkowski-type approaches, as well as the kinetic (Poynting-like) and canonical (with separate spin and orbital degrees of freedom) pictures.While the kinetic Abraham–Poyntingmomentumdescribes the energy flux and the group velocity of thewa...
