186. Problem 3.24 (R) The “effective mass” of a photon (bundle of electromagnetic radiation of zero rest mass and energy ) can be determined from the relation . We have to compute the “effective mass” for a photon of wavelength (visible region) and for a photon of wavelength (X-ray region). |
Solution: Click For PDF Version Planck constant, . Effective mass of a photon of wavelength will be . Therefore, effective mass of a photon of wavelength will be And, the effective mass of a photon of wavelength will be |
