Photon:
- According to Einstein's quantum theory light propagates in the bundles (packets or quanta) of energy, each bundle is called a photon and possesses energy.
The energy of photon:
- The energy of each photon is given by
Where c = Speed of light, h = Plank's constant = 6.6 × 10–34 m2kg s-1, ν = Frequency in Hz, λ = Wavelength of light
The momentum of the photon:
- The relation between the energy and momentum of the photon is given by
CALCULATION:
Given - The ratio of energies of two photons (E1 : E2) = 1 ∶ 2
- The relation between the energy and momentum of the photon is given by
Here c = constant, therefore
