n photons of wavelength \(\lambda\) are absorbed by a black body of mass \(\mathrm{m}\). The momentum gained by the body is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{nh}}{\lambda}\)
  2. B \(\frac{h}{m \lambda}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{mnh}}{\lambda}\)
  4. D \(\frac{n h}{m \lambda}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{nh}}{\lambda}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Momentum gained ion absorption of on photon,
\[
\mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\lambda}
\]
\(\therefore\) Total momentum gained \(=\mathrm{nh}=\frac{\mathrm{nh}}{\lambda}\)
