The Momentum of a Photon calculator computes the momentum of a photon based on the wavelength and Plank's constant where:
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (h) Planck's constant
- (`lambda`) Wavelength of photon
Momentum(p): The equation returns momentum(p) in kg*m/s.
The Math / Science
The Momentum of a photon is found using the following formula:
p=h/λ
where:
- p = Momentum of a photon
- h = Plank's constant
- λ = wavelength
