The linear momentum of a 3 MeV photon isA. `0.01eVsm^(-1)`B. `0.02eVsm^(-1)`C. `0.03eVsm^(-1)`D. `0.04eVsm^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) : Energy of a photon, `E=3MeV=3xx10^(6)eV`
Linear momentum of the photon, `p=(E)/( c)`
where c is the speed of light in vacuum
`p=(3xx10^(6)eV)/(3xx10^(8)"m s"^(-1))=10^(-2)eV"s m"^(-1)=0.01eV"s m^(-1)`
