Aberration of Light and Motion of Real Particle

Abstract

Correct and complete (to terms of $\vec{v}/c$ -- $\vec{v}$ is particle's velocity, $c$ is the speed of light) derivation of equation of motion for real dust particle under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived. The effect of aberration of light is used. Equation of motion is expressed in terms of particle's optical properties, standardly used in optics for stationary particles.
