NEET Physics Question - Modern Physics - Photoelectric Effects and deBroglie Equation

Assertion (A): Two photons having equal wavelengths have equal linear momentum.

Reason (R): When monochromatic light shows its photon character, each photon has a linear momentum \(p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\).

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

The linear momentum of a photon is given by \(p = h/\lambda\). If two photons have equal wavelengths \(\lambda\), then their linear momenta \(p\) must also be equal. The Reason (R) correctly states the formula and explains Assertion (A).
