Is p=E/c valid for electrons ?Pls explain too p=momentum E=energy of photon c=speed of light
sorry,E= energy of electron
is this for quantum physics?
i dont know
hmm i can give you a link it might be able to explain it better than i can
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence if you go to this link it is easier to understand if you need more help please don't hesitate to ask
It would be a good approximation for relativistic electrons, that is electrons travelling at almost the speed of light. p equals exactly E/c for particles with zero mass, namely photons.
@BleachSta4Ever :) thanks ... i will do that @Vincent-Lyon.Fr so that equations only works for particles with infinitesimal mass and with speed of light, like photons
Yep!
