Question:

What is the momentum of photon of energy 3 MeV in Kg m/s ?

Options:

1.6 x 10-21 Kg m/s

3.2 x 10-21 Kg m/s

1.6 x 10-25 Kg m/s

3.2 x 10-25 Kg m/s

Correct Answer:

1.6 x 10-21 Kg m/s

Explanation:

Use : p = E/c

$ p = \frac{3\times 1.6\times 10^{-13}}{3\times 10^8}= 1.6\times 10^{-21} Kg-m/s$
