What is the momentum of a photon of wavelength λ?(a) \(\frac {hv}{c}\)(b) Zero(c) \(\frac {h\lambda }{c^2}\)(d) \(\frac {h\lambda }{c}\)The question was posed to me in an internship interview.The question is from Particle Nature of Light : The Photon topic in chapter Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) \(\FRAC {hv}{C}\)

Explanation: Momentum is GIVEN as:

p = mc

p = mc

p = \(\frac {mc^2}{c}\)

p = \(\frac {hv}{c}\).
