Let p and E denote the linear momentum and energy of a photon. If the wavelength is decreased,

A

bot p and E increase

B

p increases E decreases

C

p dereases and E increases

D

both p and E decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`p=(h)/(lamda)`
also, `E=(hc)/(lamda)`
So, if `lamda` is decreased, both p and E increase.
