electromagnetism - Electromagnetic Momentum


My book says : The fact that electromagnetic radiation of energy carried momentum was known from classical theory and from the experiments of Nichols and Hull in 1903.

Does anyone know what those experiments were, and why classical theory suggests that momentum of light is E/c?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
