The kinetic energy of a photon of frequency ϑ, rest mass  mo, having mass m while moving with velocity v is

a
12mv2
b
c
mc2−m0c2
d
12mv2−hϑ

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The total energy of photon is its kinetic energy, as rest mass energy of a photon is zero. As total energy of a photon=hϑ .  Therefore the kinetic energy of a photon is equal to total energy rest mass energy =hϑ−0=hϑ
