The breakdown of Newton's laws is not your biggest problem with that

situation. The main problem is the fact that the system which you have

postulated is impossible. No particle to which Newton's laws might be

expected to apply at all ... i.e. particles with mass ... can move with

the speed of light.

Does a light wave act like a moving particle?

No, a light wave does not act like a moving particle. Light waves exhibit properties of both waves and particles, known as wave-particle duality. In certain experiments, light behaves more like a wave, while in others, it behaves more like a particle.


What are three things that a magnetic field may do to moving charged particles?

Accelerate the particle but not beyond C, the speed of light Decelerate the particle Divert the particle's path.


What will be the total energy of a particle of rest mass m and momentum p moving at velocity close to light?

The total energy of a particle with rest mass m and momentum p moving at a velocity close to the speed of light is given by Einstein's equation: E^2 = (pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2, where c is the speed of light. Since the particle is moving at a velocity close to light, its total energy will be dominated by its momentum term (pc)^2.


What is fastest moving object?

Photonneutrinoelectrona theortical particle called a tachyon, moves faster than light.


Is visible light a type of sound?

no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air


What is meant by tachyons?

A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that moves faster than light and is incapable of moving slower than the speed of light.


When is relativity applicable?

Special relativity is always applicable, but only really useful when you are considering objects moving close to the speed of light. General relativity should be used when objects are very heavy or dense.


Which light is used in newtons rings?

What are the proofs of the particle nature light?

The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.


Is light a particle?

Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.


Is light both a wave and a particle?

Yes, light exhibits properties of both a wave and a particle, known as wave-particle duality.


Proofs of the particle nature of light?

Albert Einstein's Photo-electric effect is one of the proof of the particle nature of light. The experiment on the wave particle duality is another proof pf the particle nature of light.
