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

A

`(hv)/(c)`

B

`(v)/(c)`

C

`hvc`

D

`(hv)/(c^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`because` Mass of photon `m=(E)/(c^(2))=(hv)/(c^(2))" "therefore` Momentum of photon `p=m_(c)=(hv)/(c^(2))*c=(hv)/(c)`.
