I tried to use conservation of momentum p_f = p_i and then sub formass of radiation as E = mc^2 But it left the box NOT MOVING whichthe second part of the question implies that the box ISMOVING
Einstien showed that there is mass associated with electromagneticradiation. Consider a box of length L and mass M resting on africtionless surface. At the left wall of the box is a light sourcethat emits radiation of energy E, which is absorbed momentum ofmagnitude of
p = E/c
find the recoil velocity of the box such that momentum mechanics.When the light is absorbed at the right wall of the box, the boxstops, so the total momentum remains zero. If we neglect the verysmall velocity of the box, the time it takes for the radiation totravel across the box is delta t = L/c. Find the distance move bythe box in this time, show that if the centre of mass of the systemis to remain at the same place, the radiation must carry mass
m=E/c^2
