Abstract

This work illuminates fundamental connections between three wave-induced phenomena: (i) the ponderomotive force acting on the medium particles, (ii) the Stokes drift of free medium particles, and (iii) the canonical wave momentum. The results are applicable to sound waves in fluids or gases and to electromagnetic waves in media with free electrons.
