If the energy of the photon is increased by a factor of $4$, then its momentum
Does not change
Decreases by a factor of $4$
Increases by a factor of $4$
Decreases by a factor of $2$
Write equation of mass of photon.
An electron and proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with energy $3\, {eV}$. The proton captures the electrons and forms a hydrogen atom in second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal of threshold wavelength $4000\, \mathring {{A}}$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron ? (In ${eV}$)
The momentum of a photon with energy $20\, eV$ is
Assertion : The energy $(E)$ and momentum $(p)$ of a photon are related by $p = E/c$.
Reason : The photon behaves like a particle.
