right, so I am supposed to draw a free body diagram of the avg photon impact on a spacecraft , as well as approximate a value for the force vector those photons may create. It's a really rough estimation, but I am having trouble with a few things:
a. the fundamnetal frequency of a photon
b. calculating the force, since photons travel at a constant c, and don't accelerate.
c. do photons have mass or not? My teacher told me it wasnt entirely true that photons were massless, however everything I find online contradicts him.
due tmrw morning, thanks
