Do all the photons of differents colour ...

Do all the photons of differents colour have the same mass? If not, why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equivalent mass of photon, `m=E/(c^2)=(hv)/(c^2)`
Since frequency (v) of different colours is different, hence their equivalent masses are different.
