MCQ
A photon in motion has a mass
- A$c/h\nu $
- B$h/\nu $
- C$h\nu $
- ✓$h\nu /{c^2}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$h\nu /{c^2}$
d
(d)$E = h\nu = m{c^2}\, \Rightarrow \,\,m = \frac{{h\nu }}{{{c^2}}}$
(d)$E = h\nu = m{c^2}\, \Rightarrow \,\,m = \frac{{h\nu }}{{{c^2}}}$

→The $\beta$-decay process, discovered around $1900$ , is basically the decay of a neutron ( $n$ ), In the laboratory, a proton ( $p$ ) and an electron ( $e ^{-}$) are observed as the decay products of the neutron. therefore, considering the decay of a neutron as a tro-body dcay process, it was predicted theoretically that thekinetic energy of the electron should be a constant. But experimentally, it was observed that the electron kinetic energy has a continuous spectrum. Considering a three-body decay process, i.e. $n \rightarrow p+ e ^{-}+\bar{v}_{ e }$, around $1930,$ Pauli explained the observed electron energy spectrum. Assuming the anti-neutrino $\left(\bar{v}_{ e }\right)$ to be massless and possessing negligible energy, and neutron to be at rest, momentum and energy conservation principles are applied. From this calculation, the maximum kinetic energy of the lectron is $0.8 \times 10^6 eV$. The kinetic energy carried by the proton is only the recoil energy.
