Photon of frequency `v` has a momentum associated with it. If `c` is the velocity of light, the momentum is:

A

`v//c`

B

`hvc`

C

`hv//c^(2)`

D

`hv//c`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The relation between energy (E) of a photon and momentum (P) associated with the photon is `E=pc`
The corresponding momentum `p=E/c=(hv)/c`
