Abraham–Minkowski controversy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics: electromagnetic momentum within dielectric media

TheAbraham–Minkowski controversy is aphysics debate concerningelectromagneticmomentum withindielectric media.[1][2] Two equations were first suggested byHermann Minkowski (1908)[3] andMax Abraham (1909)[4][5] for this momentum. They predict different values, from which the name of the controversy derives.[6] Experimental support has been claimed for both.[7][8][9][10]

The two points of view have different physical interpretations and thus neither need be more correct than the other.[11]David J. Griffiths argues that, in the presence of matter, only the totalstress–energy tensor carries unambiguous physical significance; how one apportions it between an "electromagnetic" part and a "matter" part depends on context and convenience.[12]

Several papers have claimed to have resolved this controversy.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

The controversy is still claimed to have importance inphysics beyond the Standard Model where electrodynamics gets modifications, like in the presence ofaxions.[20]
