when the particle moves with the speed of light,the mass of the particle increases to infinity.... this is as per Einstein's theory of relativity....n its true.... some people say the mass decreases to zero when the particle travels with the speed of light....they are "INSANE"

According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, mass can be converted into energy, and is given by the relation E=mc2, where c is the velocity of light. From the question, the object thus will be converted into energy

Your question is somewhat senseless because it is impossible for an electron to travel at the speed of light as it has mass.

What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?

When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.


When train is travell with speed of light nd we put a mirror in front of me then what will image formed?

An object such as a train simply CANNOT travel at the speed of light. You can investigate what happens when it moves close to the speed of light.

What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?

It moves at a slower speed!


What happens to the speed of light as it moves from water into air?

The speed increases.


What happens when electron move from one object to another by direct speed?

It isn't quite clear what you mean with "direct speed". Any time an object moves, it has speed.


What happens to the speed of an object like a planet or satellite if it moves closer to the object it is revolving around?

It increases in order to conserve angular momentum.


An object moves in light speed will shred its mass?

An object that normally doesn't move at light speed (so, this doesn't include photons for example) CANNOT move at the speed of light. As it approaches the speed of light, its mass will get higher and higher (and tend towards infinity); as will the energy required to continue speeding it up.


What happens when a light ray moves from one substance to another?

The speed changes. (and sometimes the angle.)


When an object moves with constant velocity what happens?

Constant velocity means that the object's speed is constant, and it moves in a straight line, i.e. the direction of its motion is also constant. When an object moves in a manner consistent with this description, probability dictates that sooner or later, it bumps into something.


If the speed of an object does not changed then the object is traveling at a?

If speed does not change then the object is moving with constant speed. when object moves in a circle its speed does not remains constant. Speed of object remains constant only if it moves along linear path.


Does the earth revolve around the sun at the speed of light?

No material object ever moves at the speed of light. The Earth's speed in its solar orbit ... relative to a foolish astronomer sitting on the sun ... is about 29.78 kilometers per second. That's about 0.0001 of the speed of light.
