Question

where again p is the phonon momentum, E is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. When you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light? (If not, check your work for questions #4 through #6).

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

p = momentum of photon

E = energy of photon

c = velocity of light

Units of p = kg m /s

Units of E = kg m^2 / s^2

Units of E / p = {kg m^2 / s^2} / {kg m /s} = m/s

It is the unit of speed, so by the division of energy to the momentum, we get the speed. yes it is correct.
