Question

If a photon and an electron have the same wavelength:


a. the photon has the greater momentum

b. the electron has the greater momentum

c. they have the same momentum

d. either may have the greater momentum, depending upon the value of the wavelength

aaronq · Answer

well since photons do not have mass... and momentum =mass*velocity

anonymous · Answer

So "C" will be my answer

aaronq · Answer

hm i would say that the electron has greater momentum
