What is the mass of one photon?
mass of the proton is 0. Answer 2 But the question asked about photons, not protons. The mass of a photon is also 0, though the mass of a proton is not!
Why is the energy of a photon greater than that of an electron?
It does not. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass and therefore more energy
What has no gravity?
Anything with mass has gravity so anything with no mass has no gravity, for example a photon has no mass.
Do photon have a greater energy than electron?
No. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass.
Does the Photon interact with the Higgs Field?
The Higgs field is a hypothetical field which explains mass. It is believed to be interaction with this field which gives particles mass. The photon is a massless particle, so it must not interact with the Higgs field.
What is the plot mass of photon?
the photon has got 0 rest mass .and plot mass means? not knowing..
mass of photon?
Photons have no mass.
How photon is an elementary particle despite having no mass?
The photon does have mass. You can easily solve for it.Energy of a photon is ( Planck's konstant times frequency).But kinetic energy of any moving object is also ( 1/2 m V2 ).For a photon, 'V' is 'c', so ( h f ) = (1/2 m c2) , and [ m = ( 2 x Planck's konstant x frequency) / c2 ] .Or, what is equivalent, [ m = ( 2 x Planck's konstant ) / (wavelength x c) ] .So, there's the mass of your photon, while it's moving at the speed of light ... which it always is.What it doesn't have is rest mass ... mass that it would have if it were just laying there on the floor.It can't have rest mass, because any rest mass becomes infinite when the object movesat the speed of light.
What is the smallest in mass?
A photon.
What is the mass of one photon?
mass of the proton is 0. Answer 2 But the question asked about photons, not protons. The mass of a photon is also 0, though the mass of a proton is not!
Why is the energy of a photon greater than that of an electron?
It does not. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass and therefore more energy
What subatomic particles have a mass of 0?
The photon. This refers to the "rest mass"; since the photon has energy, it also has an associated mass. But the "rest mass" or "invariant mass" is zero.
What is the mass of a photon in motion?
A photon is a massless particle, meaning it has no rest mass. Its mass is zero, but it does have energy and momentum.
Which is not the property of photon mass charge energy momentum?
A photon has zero electrical charge.
Is it possible to attain light speed?
Only if you are a photon. In that case, you always move at the speed of light. If you're not a photon, and have any mass while you're sitting still, and are not moving at the speed of light right now, then you can never attain light speed.
When can a substance's mass be 0?
Yes, a Photon's mass is theorized to be zero.
What is the mass of gamma in atomic mass units?
If you mean a gamma photon, it is mass-less.
