Linear momentum is mass times velocity. One (not always correct) definition of angular momentum is "rotational mass" times angular velocity. Rotational mass is usually called the moment of inertia.

Photons have both linear and angular momentum, and the influence of one or both becomes evident during scattering or absorbing processes. For example, the transfer of linear momentum from photons ...

Applications that require precise information on the linear or angular movement of an object rely on the accuracy of motion sensors within. Accelerometers and gyroscopes can be used to provide this ...

When an optical wave interacts with matter, there is an exchange between the spin and orbital parts of the angular momentum carried by the wave. This optical spin–orbit interaction (SOI) is ...
