Abstract
We demonstrate the fulfilment of the conservation laws with respect to fluxes of momentum, energy, spin, and the number of photons when a plane circularly polarized electromagnetic wave reflects from a receding mirror at normal incidence. The given calculations show that spin occurs to be the same natural property of a plane electromagnetic wave, as energy and momentum.
