What is the momentum of a photon if the wavelength of X-rays is 1 angstrom?
Given that,
Wave lengthλ=1∘A
We know that,
λ=hp
p=6.26×10−3410−10
p=6.26×10−24kgm/s
Hence, this is the required solution
The momentum of a photon in an X-ray beam of 10−10 metre wavelength is
The energy in monochromatic X-rays of wavelength 1 angstrom is roughly equal to
