What will be the momentum of a photon of energy 0.1 MeV in SI unit?

  1. A \( 5.33 \times 10^{-22} \)
  2. B \(7 \times 10^{-24} \)
  3. C \( 5.33 \times 10^{-23} \)
  4. D \( 3.33 \times 10^{-23} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 5.33 \times 10^{-23} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = 0.1 \text{ MeV} = 0.1 \times 10^6 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J} = 1.602 \times 10^{-14} \text{ J}\) \(p = \frac{E}{c}\) \(p = \frac{1.602 \times 10^{-14} \text{ J}}{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}\) \(p = 5.34 \times 10^{-23} \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}\)
