Where "λ" (lambda) is the wavelength, "h" is the Planck constant, and "p" is the momentum. Then we have to P = h / λ

Data:
P (momentum) = ?
λ (wavelenght) = 1.55 m
h (Planck constant) =
6.63*10^(34) J.s

Formula:

P = h / \Lambda

Solving:

P = h / \Lambda

P = (6.63*10^(34))/(1.55)

\boxed{\boxed{P \approx 4.27^(34) J.s/m}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
