areas, we have

in which are corresponding elements of a radius, being at rest in the (R, T) system.

Hence

and

Using these and the final form of the transformation of the electric vectors in § 3, the following equations are obtained exactly as in the last section:

p and P being the mechanical forces per unit area according as the element is observed in the (r, t) or (R, T) system.

If the element dS belongs to the wall of a region in which there is radiation in equilibrium is zero as before if the time-average be taken, and P is normal to dS.

Thus

Thus p is normal to ds and is equal to .

For the energy the transformation gives
