Abstract
A consistent system of gas-dynamic and Maxwell equations which includes the ponderomotive force is formulated and discussed with respect to momentum and energy conservation in the interaction of radiation with a fully ionised plasma. The role of polarisation and compressibility of the plasma is pointed out.Keywords
