In a photon-particle collision (sauch as photon-electron collision), which of the following may not be conserved ?

Answer»

Total ENERGY
Number of photons
Total MOMENTUM
both (a) and (b)

SOLUTION :(b) : In a photon-particle collision, (such as photon electron collision), the total energy and total momentum are CONSERVED. However, the number of photons may not be conserved in photon-particle collision. The photon may be absorbed or a new photon may be created.
