learnin to learn Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Even I guessed that the velocity could contirbute to the mass of the photon. But do we say that the energy that was once associated with the photon contributes to it's mass? hf = mc^2 ...? I have already been told that it has no rest mass. Obviously, withuot velocith it also lacks energy... because that's all there is to it, I think... energy due to travelling fluctuation of 'feild'. However, I have come across references that quantum mechanics completely disbelieves in the concept of feild, and only in particles. Have I got that correct?surprisingly I am following most of what yall are saying, but ron, what does the hf stand for in your equation? Quote
