Detailed Solution
Energy of photon is given byE=hcλ . . . iWhere h is plank's constant, c the velocity of light and λ its wavelength.de−Broglie wavelength is given byλ=hp . . . iiP being momentum of photon from Eq.s i and ii, we can haveE=hch/p=pc or p=E/cGiven, E=1 MeV=1×106×1.6×10−19Jc=3×108m/sHence, after putting numerical values, we obtain p=1×106×1.6×10−193×108kgm/s=5×10−22kgm/s
