Learn about the fascinating phenomenon of radiation pressure in this 14-minute physics lecture that explores how sunlight can exert physical force on objects. Discover the surprising fact that photons from the Sun can push against surfaces, and understand how this principle can be practically applied in space exploration through examples like mylar sheets that can achieve speeds of up to 100,000 mph within a year due to solar radiation pressure.
