The classical definition of power is the rate of work per unit time, and the usual definition of work requires a mass to be displaced. However, power is alternatively stated as the rate of the transfer of energy. Now, suppose for example that one abstractly considers a light beam (without measuring it). Energy is being transferred in space without any massive object being displaced. So can we talk about the power of the photon?
Thanks.
