From fundamental concepts of electromagnetic theory a mathematical development on the forces between radiating bodies is presented. A method is developed that evaluates the stationary volume energy density as a function of particle separation. A rudimentary description of particle scattering yields data that correspond to the sinusoidally varying force that has been shown to act on particles under intense illumination as a Function of their proximity.
