MCQ
Pick out correct statement from the following regarding photons:
- AZero rest mass and zero spin
- BZero rest mass and half integral spin
- CZero rest mass and spin of unity

Answer
- Zero rest mass and spin of unity
Explanation:
Rest mass of photon is zero because it is just a form of energy.
Spin of a photon is 1.
