Photon momentum is proportional to energy
=========================================

The momentum of a photon is its energy divided by the speed of light.

See :doc:`laws.waves.photon_energy_is_proportional_to_angular_frequency` or
:doc:`laws.waves.photon_energy_is_proportional_to_linear_frequency` for energy
expressions.
