Question

Why doesn't light carry momentum ?​

Answer 1

Light does carry momentum. Momentum can be thought of as an object's ability to push another object due to its motion. Classically, momentum is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, p = mv. Since light has no mass, you may be tempted to say that light has no momentum.

Answer 2

Answer:

here are the answers:-

• Unlike a baseball, light loses momentum by lowering its frequency rather than by lowering its speed.
• The fact that light carries momentum has profound effects on particle interactions because of the law of conservation of momentum.Jun
