Conservation laws and transverse motion of energy on reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves

V G Fedoseyev

Show affiliations


The conservation laws for the process of reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves on a plane interface of isotropic transparent media are determined. Using these laws, relations have been established between the transverse shift (TS) of a centre of gravity of reflected and transmitted wavepackets, the change of the normal component of the intrinsic Minkowski angular momentum of the electromagnetic field and the Abraham transverse momentum (or the transverse electromagnetic power flow (TPF)). The previous investigations of the TS and TPF phenomena are discussed from the point of view of conservation laws.
