A photon of wavelength λ carries a momentum of:

Answer: h/λ.

  • A h/λ
  • B the product hλ
  • C h/λ²
  • D λ/h

Correct answer: A. h/λ

Explanation: Photon momentum p = h/λ.

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

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
