the momentum of a photon is written as;
Correct answer: A. P= mc
- A. P= mc
- B. P=mc^2
- C. P= Ec
- D. P= m^2c
Explanation
the momentum of a photon is given by a different equation. The momentum of a photon is given by the equation p = E/c, where p is the momentum, E is the energy of the photon, and c is the speed of light. This equation shows that the momentum of a photon depends on its energy and the speed of light.

About Photons and the Particle Model of Light
The particle model treats light as photons with energy E equals hf and momentum related to wavelength. Questions involve the photoelectric effect, work function, threshold frequency, stopping potential and photon energy, while distinguishing particle behaviour from the wave description of interference and diffraction.
