16. q is the pseudo-momentum flux of the waves (the distinction between momentum and pseudo-momentum is necessary whenever a medium is involved). The pseudo-momentum is, however, subject to a similar conservation law as the true momentum. Consequently, conservation of pseudo-momentum can be used to compute real forces. For the boundary condition in our experiment, the conservation of pseudo-momentum results in the Rayleigh radiation pressure in eq. (4) (see Stone M., arXiv:cond-mat (2000), http://arXiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0012316).
