We may state that the energy E of a photon of frequency v is E =hv, where h is a plank's constant. The momentum p of a photon is `p=h//lambda` where `lambda` is the wavelength of the photon. From the above statement one may conclude that the wave velocity of light is equal to

A

`3xx10^(8) m//s`

B

`E//p`

C

`Ep`

D

`(E//p)^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

`E=hv` and `p=h//lambda`
So `E//p=hv//(h//lambda)=vlambda=c, i.e, c=E//p`
