Answer

$3.315\times 10^{-24}$ $kg.m/s$

Work Step by Step

The de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ is express by the formula, $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$ where $h$ is the planck's constant and $p$ is the momentum of the moving particle. $\therefore$ $p=\frac{h}{\lambda}$ Here, the photon has a wavelength of $\lambda=0.20$ $nm$ $\therefore$ The momentum of the photon is given by $p=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{0.20\times 10^{-9}}$ $kg.m/s$ or, $p=3.315\times 10^{-24}$ $kg.m/s$
