Field, Force, Energy & Momentum in Classical Electrodynamics.

Annotation For the past 100 years physicists have debated the nature of the momentum of light inside material media. Hermann Minkowski, for example, asserts that within a transparent dielectric the momentum of a photon is the photon's vacuum momentum multiplied by the refractive index of the di...
