In the case of a photon :-
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Its speed can change but cannot become equal to zero.
Option D (Its speed can change but cannot become equal to zero) is correct because a photon always travels at the speed of light in a given medium, but its speed changes when entering a different medium.

Statement I: Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
Statement II: Sound waves require a material medium for propagation. For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field and magnetic field respectively? Assertion: The relative velocity of two photons travelling in opposite directions is the velocity of light.
Reason: The rest mass of photon is zero Intensity of electromagnetic wave will be The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is . The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is Methane is a greenhouse gas because
