⚠️ Common Exam Traps & Conceptual Pitfalls

Students often confuse the relationships between photon properties, failing to recognize that for photons, equal energy, equal frequency, and equal wavelength are all mathematically equivalent conditions that imply equal linear momentum ($p = E/c = h/\lambda$).

Two photons of

Multiple Choice Options

  • A equal wavelength have equal linear momenta
  • B equal energies have equal linear momenta
