The correct way to calculate the momentum of a photon is:
**Planck's constant divided by the photon's wavelength.**
In mathematical terms, the momentum \( p \) of a photon can be expressed as:
\[ p = \frac{h}{\lambda} \]
where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the photon.
**Planck's constant divided by the photon's wavelength.**
