Question

Which of the following is not the property of the photons ?

• A. Momentum
• B. Energy
• C. Charge
• D. Velocity

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

A photon is a particle which has zero charge and zero mass and is denoted by $\gamma$. The energy of photon is
$E=hv$
Here, $v=$ frequency and $h=$ Planck's constant. The momentum of the photon is $h/v$ and its velocity is the velocity of light (c).
So, the charge is not the property of photons.
