A photon has wavelength 6.6×10⁻⁷ m (h = 6.6×10⁻³⁴ J·s). Its momentum is:

Answer: 1×10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s.

  • A 1×10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s
  • B 1×10⁻³⁴ kg·m/s
  • C 1×10⁻²⁰ kg·m/s
  • D 6.6×10⁻⁷ kg·m/s

Correct answer: A. 1×10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s

Explanation: p = h/λ = 6.6×10⁻³⁴/6.6×10⁻⁷ = 1×10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context
