उत्तर

Explanation:

de-Broglie wavelength is the wavelength that is connected to an object in relation to its momentum and mass. Typically, the force of a particle is inversely proportional to its de-Broglie wavelength.

A photon's momentum is determined by:

P = `E/c = h/lambda` where E is the energy of the photon, c is the speed of light in vacuum, h is Planck's constant and λ is the de-Broglie wavelength.

According to de-Broglie, `p = h/lambda` or `p ∝ 1/lambda`.

By this relation, we can conclude that the linear momentum of a photon is inversely proportional to the de-Broglie wavelength. The graph of p vs λ shall be a rectangular hyperbola.
