- $\frac{pc}{h}$
- $\frac{hc}{p}$
- $\frac{h}{pc}$
- $\frac{ph}{c}$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The energy of a photon is related to its momentum and frequency by the equation: \[ E = hf = \frac{pc}{h} \] Thus, the frequency associated with the photon is given by $\frac{pc}{h}$.
