Thanks for the response, Richard.


Hi Chuck,

You're welcome.

I had consulted Feynman's Volumes I and II prior to posting and saw
nothing there to support the idea that an EM wave performs work in
moving through a region of free space. Hence, my original post.


It is also noteworthy that electrons don't exhibit much friction
either. (Feynman is particularly interesting in regard to friction
too.)
