प्रश्न

Calculate the momentum of a photon of light of wavelength 500 nm.

(Use h = 6.63 × 10-34J-s = 4.14 × 10-15 eV-s, c = 3 × 108 m/s and me = 9.1 × 10-31kg)

योग

उत्तर

Given :-

Wavelength of light, λ = 500 nm

Planck's constant, `h = 6.63 xx 10^-34  "J-s"`

Momentum of a photon of light ,

`p = h/ λ`

`= (6.63 xx 10^-34)/(500 xx 10^-9)`

`= 6.63/5 xx 10^-27`

`= 1.326 xx 10^-27`

`= 1.33 xx 10^-27  "kg"-m"/"s`
