Photoelectric EffectHard
Question
X-ray falling on a material
Options
A.exerts a force on it
B.transfers energy to it
C.transfers momentum to it
D.transfers impulse to it
Solution
Photon exerts force due to change in momentum photon transfers its energy to the material. Photon transfers its energy to the material.
Since, it exerts force, hence imparts impulse also.
Since, it exerts force, hence imparts impulse also.
