MCQ
A photon of wavelength $6630\  \mathop A\limits^o $  is incident on a totally reflecting surface. The momentum delivered by the photon is equal to
  • A
    $6.63 × 10^{-27}\  kg-m/sec$
  • B
    $12 × 10^{-27}\  kg-m/sec$
  • $1 × 10^{-27}\  kg-m/sec$
  • D
    $2 × 10^{-26}\  kg-m/sec$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1 × 10^{-27}\  kg-m/sec$
c
$\lambda=\mathrm{h} / \mathrm{p}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\lambda}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{6630 \times 10^{-10}}=9.95 \times 10^{-28} \,\mathrm{kg} \,\mathrm{m} /\, \mathrm{sec}$

$=1 \times 10^{-27}\, \mathrm{kg}\, \mathrm{m} /\, \mathrm{sec}$
