If a hydrogen atom at rest, emits a photon of wavelength `lambda`, the recoil speed of the atom of mass m is given by :A. `h/(mlambda)`B. `(mh)/lambda`C. `mhlambda`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
From conservation of linear momentum , after emission of a photon , magnitude of linear momentum of the atom=magnitude of linear momentum of photon i.e `mv=h/lambdaRightarrowv=h/(mlambda)`
