Light possesses particle-like properties, and each particle is called a photon. The energy E and momentum p of a single photon corresponding to light with wavelength λ are expressed, using Planck's constant h, as follows:
E=λhc p=λhHere, c is the speed of light in a vacuum.
Monochromatic light with wavelength λ is emitted from a light source. Find the ratio pE of the energy E and momentum p of a single photon corresponding to this light.
Enter the value of the calculated ratio pE expressed in m/s units.
