I have a theory gw+l=gw l=m. If a gravitational warp traps photon then photon

have mass. A small amount 0.000000000000000000000000001 mg. That is what

i think.

=============================================

Until such time as the previous contributor's hunch can be tested in the laboratory,

all theory and experiment so far has shown the rest mass of the photon to be zero.

What do you call a particle of light with zero mass which carries a quantum of energy?

I call it a 'photon'.By the way, the photon has zero rest mass, but when it travels at the speed of light ...which it always does ... it has some mass.


What is a unit or quantum of light a particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero res mass and carries a quantum of energy?

A unit or quantum of light is called a photon. Photons are the basic units of electromagnetic radiation, have zero rest mass, and carry a discrete amount of energy that is proportional to their frequency.


A particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy?

Bear in mind that anything that has energy also necessarily has some amount of mass, however small, in accordance with the famous equation e = mc2. Photons are said to have no rest mass, but since they are never at rest that is a purely theoretical characteristic. Photons have no mass other than the small amount to which their energy content is equivalent.


How does a black hole attract photons if they have no weight?

It is not the weight that is relevant, but the mass. And when it is stated that a photon has no mass, that refers to its "rest mass" or "invariant mass". But since it has energy, it certainly has an equivalent mass as well - all energy has mass. In any case, what actually happens here is that the black hole distorts space and time around it in such a way that light will no longer go in a straight line (in the traditional sense); once it gets within the event horizon, a photon can only get deeper into the black hole, no matter in what direction it moves.


What particle of an atom has the smallest mass?

Both the Photon and the Gluon have zero mass.Theoretically, the photon has zero rest mass (related to the fact that the electromagnetic force has unlimited range).The current experimental upper limit is 10−18 eV/c2, or about 2×10-54 kg. For comparison, that means the photon is at least 5×1023 times lighter than the electron.See the related links section for more information.

What is the plot mass of photon?

the photon has got 0 rest mass .and plot mass means? not knowing..


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 moving photon?

A photon is a massless particle, so it does not have a rest mass. It only possesses energy and momentum, but in the context of special relativity, mass is not a property of a moving photon.


Why the rest mass of photon is zero?

The rest mass of a photon is considered to be zero because photons are massless particles. They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and do not possess rest mass. This is a fundamental property of photons in the Standard Model of particle physics.


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!


What is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation usually considered as an elementary particle that is its own antiparticle and that has zero rest mass and charge and a spin of one?

You have described a photon. Fairly well, actually; good job.


What is the mass of a photon in motion?

It's (double the photon's energy) divided by (the speed of light squared). The photon's energy depends on its frequency, and is (frequency) times (Planck's konstant).


Can mass be zero?

Just as matter is defined by having mass, there cannot be matter with zero mass. Current theories all define the "photon" (energy quantum) as having zero rest mass, although it can be treated as both a "particle" and a wave.
