3) Stays the same

The momentum of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that as the wavelength is halved, the momentum of the photon will double.

Answer 2

since they are inversely proportional, the momentum doubles

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct. When the wavelength of a photon is halved, its momentum will double. Thank you for pointing that out.
