Q27 / 104 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

When the momentum of a photon is chagned by an amount p' then the corresponding change in the de-Broglie wavelength is found to be 0.2%. Then, the original momentum of the photon was

  • A
    300p′
  • Correct answer
    B
    500p′
  • C
    400p′
  • D
    600p′

Solution

∵    λ=hp

∴     λ∝1p

⇒    Δpp= -Δλλ

∴     Δpp=Δλλ

⇒    p′p=0.20100=1500

⇒    p=500p′

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
