If E and P are the energy and the momentum of a photon respectively,then on reducing the wavelength of photon

A

p and E both will decrease

B

p and E both will increase

C

p wil increase and E will decrease

D

p will decrease and E will increase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`lambda = (hc)/(E) = (h)/(p)`
On decreasing `lambda`, both p and E will increase

Which of the following is correct regarding photons? (i) A photon always travels at a speed 3xx10^(8)m//sec in vacuum. (ii) The rest mass of photon is zero. (iii) Let E and p be the energy and linear momentum of a photon and v and lambda be the frequency and wavelength of the same light when it behaves as a wave. Then E=h v =(hc)/(lambda) p=(h v)/(c) =(h)/(lambda) =(E)/(c) (iv) A photon may collide with a meterial particle. The total energy and the total momentum remain conserved in such a collision. The photon may get absorbed and / or a new photon may be emitted. Thus, the number of photons may not be consverved.
