La pression de radiation est la pression exercée sur une surface exposée à un rayonnement électromagnétique. Cet effet fut déduit théoriquement par James Maxwell en 1871 et fut détecté expérimentalement par Pyotr Lebedev en 1900 puis par Ernest Nichols et Gordon Hull en 1901. Cette pression est très faible mais peut être mesurée par exemple avec un radiomètre de Nichols. 4, record 2, French, - pression%20de%20rayonnement
