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

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

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If the assertion is false but reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For photon particles `p=(h)/(lamda) and E=hv=(hc)/(lamda) implies p=(E)/(c)`
