Assertion : The energy (E ) and momentum...

Assertion : The energy `(E )` and momentum `(p)` of a photon are related by `p = E//c`.
Reason : The photon behaves like a particle.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Momentum of a photon is given by `y = (h)/(lambda)`.
Also the photon is a form of energy packets behave as a particle having energy `E = (hc)/(lambda)`. So `p = (E )/(c )`.
