If c is the velocity of light in free space, the correct statements about photon among the following are :

A. The energy of a photon is E=huE = h u.

B. The velocity of a photon is cc.

C. The momentum of a photon, p=hucp = \frac{h u}{c}.

D. In a photon-electron collision, both total energy and total momentum are conserved.

E. Photon possesses positive charge.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

A

A, C and D only

B

A, B, D and E only

C

A and B only

D

A, B, C and D only

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Photons have energy E=huE = h u, velocity cc, and momentum huc\frac{h u}{c}. They are neutral and conserve energy and momentum in collisions.
