    The mass of a photon with wavelength\[3.6\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]is:

    A) \[6.135\times {{10}^{-29}}kg\]  

    B) \[3.60\times {{10}^{-29}}kg\]

    C) \[6.135\times {{10}^{-33}}kg\]  

    D) \[3.60\times {{10}^{-27}}kg\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that                 \[E=m{{c}^{2}}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mc}\] or            \[m=\frac{h}{\lambda c}\] Where, \[\lambda =\]wavelength of photon \[h=\] plancks constant \[m=\] mass of photon \[c=\] velocity of light Given,   \[\lambda =3.6\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,=3.6\times {{10}^{-10}}m\] \[\therefore \]  \[m=\frac{6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}}{3.6\times {{10}^{-10}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}\]                 \[=6.135\times {{10}^{-33}}kg\]
