what is E=pc?
The energy of a body is equal to its momentum times the speed of light in a vacuum.
The momentum is . It is a Lorentz invariant.
You have also:
using where
When m=0, E=0 using the above trick ! This does not apply to massless stuff !
However it is true to say that when , , and of course, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlpons (talk • contribs) 12:46, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In planks initial formula, I assume that momentum is NOT rest mass times velocity. This should be explained. Articles that can only be understood by experts that already understand the material are useless. Tuntable (talk) 00:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
