How Does Classical Radiation Pressure Depend on Brightness and Frequency?

The known Radiation Pressure equation is based on Special Relativity as I saw here:
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node90.html

I do not want relativistic. I want is a classical one that shows distinctivly the factor of brightness and the factor of frequency (colour) that increase Pressure. I.e. the ... brighter the light of the lamp is, the higher the Pressure. But brightness can change with no colour change. And also the higher the frequency, the higher the Pressure because that's what they say for gamma rays.

I would not say no to a such equation that shows the "relativistic" E=hf because it is...not based on special relativity! They also say it for the phonon of the sound where there is no relativity there: Phonon is just a wavefront.

I find it impossible to find that.

"Brightness" is not a very well-defined quantity.
Special relativity pops up everywhere when you talk about radiation pressure. No problem with that. You can find the pressure purely in terms of classical quantities like the intensity or the energy density.

What you can avoid is quantum mechanics. E=hf, the energy of a photon, is an equation of quantum mechanics, not relativity.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
