What does the de Broglie wavelength of a photon equal?
AThe radiation wavelength itself
BTwice the radiation wavelength
CHalf the radiation wavelength
DInfinity for every photon
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The radiation wavelength itself
With p = hν/c, h/p works out to c/ν, which is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation.
