Even though an electric field $E$ exerts a force $qE$ on a charged particle yet the electric field of an $EM$ wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.

In a plane $EM$ wave, the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of $5 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~Hz}$ and an amplitude of $50 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$. The total average energy density of the electromagnetic field of the wave is :
