Note About “Response to Question #79 Does a Plane Wave Carry Spin Angular Momentum?” (Am. J. Phys. 70, 567)

Authors: Radi I. Khrapko

It is shown that spin of a light wave is absorbed by all surface of an absorbing plate, while the edge of the plate absorbs orbital angular momentum. Absorption of electrodynamics spin cannot be expressed in terms of the energy-momentum tensor. Spin tensor is needed.
