Scientific paper

The equation of the Poynting-Robertson effect is derived in several different ways, based on the corpuscular nature of light. Relativistically covariant derivations are obtained not only for perfectly absorbing spherical dust particles but also for particles exhibiting general optical properties. It is shown that classical (nonrelativistic) physics cannot be used to explain this effect. The fundamental feature of the interaction between the dust particle and the electromagnetic radiation is the conservation of the (proper) mass of the particle.
