Answers

Answered by bhawalishani10c29

Answer:

The answer is then definitely "no": the photon is a massless particle. According to theory it has energy and momentum but no mass, and this is confirmed by experiment to within strict limits. ... They also say that a photon has momentum, and momentum p is related to mass m by p = mv.

Answered by mahek77777

Light indeed carries energy via its momentum despite having no mass. ... In contrast, for a particle with no mass (m = 0), the general equation reduces down to E = pc. Since photons (particles of light) have no mass, they must obey E = pc and therefore get all of their energy from their momentum.
