Everywhere I get to read statements like EM radiations and EM fields carry "energy as well as momentum " . I wonder if energy and momentum are inalienable . Is it possible for a field to carry only energy without having any momentum term ? I mean isn't it sufficient to say that fields or EM waves carry energy or Doesn't the ability to transfer energy, of the fields, automatically imply that they can change the momentum of another particle while transferring energy to them?
