Two photons having

We know that all photons of light of a particular wavelength have the same energy and the same linear momentum. Therefore, the two photons with equal linear momentum will have equal wavelengths. We cannot say it otherwise because equal wavelengths (equal energies or equal frequencies) of two photons will represent light from two different sources.
