The correct answer is:
A, B, C and D only
(A) If $c$ is the velocity of light
so, $E=h \nu$ (Energy of photon)
(B) Velocity of photon is equal to velocity of light i.e. $c$.
(C) $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$
$\begin{aligned}
& p=\frac{h}{\lambda} \\
& p=\frac{h \nu}{c}
\end{aligned}$
(D) In photon-electron collision both total energy and total momentum are conserved.
so, $E=h \nu$ (Energy of photon)
(B) Velocity of photon is equal to velocity of light i.e. $c$.
(C) $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$
$\begin{aligned}
& p=\frac{h}{\lambda} \\
& p=\frac{h \nu}{c}
\end{aligned}$
(D) In photon-electron collision both total energy and total momentum are conserved.
