Answer

$p = 6.45\times 10^{-27}~kg~m/s$

Work Step by Step

In pat (a), we found that the energy of the photon that is emitted is $~~12.1~eV$ We can find the momentum of the photon: $p = \frac{E}{c}$ $p = \frac{(12.1~eV)(1.6\times 10^{-19}~J/eV)}{3.0\times 10^8~m/s}$ $p = 6.45\times 10^{-27}~kg~m/s$
