Morphology
acoustic + radiation + pressure
The phrase composes straightforwardly: 'acoustic' = relating to sound, 'radiation' = energy/waves propagating, and 'pressure' = force on a surface, so a learner can infer it means the pressure produced by sound waves. It is a technical term with precise directional detail, but the basic intended meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and is cross-linguistically recognizable, so a B1 learner who knows the words would grasp the concept.
Etymology
Acoustic radiation pressure comes from the simple image of sound acting like moving waves that push on things: acoustic means 'sound', radiation means waves moving out, and pressure is a push. So it refers to the push that a sound wave gives to a surface in the same direction the sound is moving.
