Abstract
The Abraham-Minkowski controversy about the momentum of light in media has been debated for over a century and has been informed by many distinguished distributions, both theoretical and experimental. We show that both the Abraham and Minkowski forms of momentum are need to be modified according to the new theory of light. We prove that the total momentum of a photon in matter is the same as compared with that in free space by using the new relations between energy and mass of light with refractive index.
