Photoelectric EffectHard
Question
Let p and E denote the linear momentum and the energy of a photon. For another photon of smaller wavelength (in same medium)
Options
A.both p and E increase
B.p increases and E decreases
C.p decreases and E increases
D.both p and E decreases
Solution
Applying p = 
and E = 
If λ decreases E and p increases.
and E = If λ decreases E and p increases.
