Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the momentum of a photon of light with a wavelength of 500 nm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Wavelength to Meters The given wavelength is 500 nanometers (nm). We need to convert this to meters for our calculations. \[ \text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = 500 \, \text{nm} = 500 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \] ...
