To Calculate: Momentum of photon by using equation
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Light is composed of photons which do not have any rest mass. So, one cannot find the momentum of a photon using the equation
The momentum of a photon can be calculated using the de Broglie wavelength equation:
Where, h is the Planck’s constant and
Conclusion:
One cannot use
