Energy and momentum of a photon is given by the expressions, energy \(E=h \nu\), and momentum \(p=h / \lambda\), respectively, where \(\nu\) is the frequency of photon, \(h\) is Plank's constant and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the photon. On the basis of the above statement, choose the option which is equal to the velocity of light ?

  1. A \(E p^{-1}\)
  2. B \(E p\)
  3. C \(E^{-1} P\)
  4. D \(E^2 p^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(E p^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\nu = E/h\) \(\lambda = h/p\) \(c = \lambda \nu = (h/p)(E/h) = E/p = E p^{-1}\)
