#Variable declaration
delE=3*1.6*10**-19      #Energy of laser
h=6.63*10**-34          #planck's constant
c=3*10**8               #speed of ligth

#Calculations
lamda=(h*c)/delE/10**-9

#Result
print"Wavelength of radiation= %i nm" %lamda

Wavelength of radiation= 414 nm

#Variable declaration
lamda=6328*10**-10      #wavelength
h=6.63*10**-34          #planck's constant
c=3*10**8               #speed of ligth

#Calculations
E=((h*c)/lamda)/1.6*10**19
Momentum=h/lamda/10**-27

#Result
print"Energy of radiation= %1.2f eV" %E
print"Momentum of electron= %1.3f*10**-27 kgm/s" %Momentum

Energy of radiation= 1.96 eV
Momentum of electron= 1.048*10**-27 kgm/s
