Question: Momentum of a photon of wavelength l is [CBSE PMT 1993; JIPMER 2001, 02]

Options:

A) $ \frac{h}{\lambda } $

B) Zero

C) $ \frac{h\lambda }{c^{2}} $

D) $ \frac{h\lambda }{c} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Since $ h\nu =mc^{2} $ , hence $ p=mc=\frac{h\nu }{c}=\frac{h}{\lambda } $
