Calculate the ratio of the momentum of an atom moving at a speed of 5.1 m/s to the momentum of a photon at frequency 603 THz. Use an atom with an atomic number of 51, with 2.3 times as many neutrons as protons in the atom. (You may assume that the proton and neutron mass are the same and that electrons have no mass.)
