Acoustic radiation pressure is the force exerted by sound waves on a surface due to the momentum carried by the sound. When sound waves propagate through a medium (such as air, water, or any other fluid), they create variations in pressure that can exert a net force on objects within that medium. This phenomenon is a consequence of the energy and momentum transfer associated with the oscillatory motion of the sound waves.
