摘要
It is shown that the momentum of an electromagnetic wave in a dielectric medium can be uniquely determined to be the Minkowski momentum by considering oblique incidence of electromagnetic wave on a flat dielectric boundary. The Minkowski momentum is consistent with the Fresnel's formulae and satifies the energy and momentum conservation laws.
