If energy of a photon is 12 eV, its linear momentum is 

a
4.2 x 10-26  kg-m/s
b
6.4 x 10-27 kg-m/s
c
10-22 kg-m/s
d
2 x 10-20 kg-m/s

detailed solution

Correct option is B

If E be the total energy of a particle and E0 be the rest mass energy, then E2=E02+(pc)2For photon E0=0∴E2=0+(pc)2⇒p=Ec=12 x 1.6 x 10-193 x 108 kg-m/s⇒p=6.4 x 10-27 kg-m/s
