$A$ $100\,W$ light source is emitting radiation of wavelength $5000\,\mathring{A}$. The rate of emission of photons is of the order of:

$A$ $160 \,W$ light source is radiating light of wavelength $6200 \,\mathring A$ uniformly in all directions. The photon flux at a distance of $1.8 \,m$ is of the order of .......... $m^{-2} s^{-1}$ (Planck's constant $= 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,J \cdot s$)

If $c$ is the velocity of light in free space,the correct statements about photon among the following are:
$A$. The energy of a photon is $E=h v$.
$B$. The velocity of a photon is $c$.
$C$. The momentum of a photon,$p=\frac{h v}{c}$.
$D$. In a photon-electron collision,both total energy and total momentum are conserved.
$E$. Photon possesses positive charge.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ photon has a wavelength of $3 \,nm$. Its momentum and energy, respectively, will be:
$[h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,Js, c = 3 \times 10^8 \,m/s]$
