Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, wavelength of photon, \(\lambda=22 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~m}\)
Plank constant, \(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\)
We know that, \(\lambda=\frac{h}{m c} \Rightarrow m c=\frac{h}{\lambda}\) and \(m c=\) momentum
\[
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \text { Momentum } & =\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{2.2 \times 10^{-11}} \\
& =3 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\end{aligned}
\]
