Abstract
We demonstrate the transfer of momentum, energy, and spin from a plane circularly polarized electromagnetic wave into an absorber. Lorentz transformations are used for the flux densities because a moving absorber is considered. The given calculations show that spin is the same natural property of a plane electromagnetic wave, as energy and momentum.
