If \(c\) is the velocity of light in free space, the correct statements about photon among the following are :

A. The energy of a photon is \(E=h\nu\).

B. The velocity of a photon is \(c\).

C. The momentum of a photon, \(p=\frac{h\nu}{c}\).

D. In a photon-electron collision, both total energy and total momentum are conserved.

E. Photon possesses positive charge.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. A, B, D and E only

2. A and B only

3. A, B, C and D only

4. A, C and D only

Best answer

Answer: 3. A, B, C and D only

Key idea: Go through the properties of a photon.

  • A: \(E=h\nu\). True.
  • B: Speed is \(c\). True.
  • C: \(p=\frac{h\nu}{c}=\frac h\lambda\). True.
  • D: In a photon-electron collision, total energy and total momentum are both conserved. True.
  • E: A photon is neutral, it has no charge. False.

A, B, C and D only: option 3.
