Prove that a photon at rest has no mass.

Calculate the mass of a photon of sodium light having wavelength 5894 angstrom and velocity 3 (10*8)ms-1.

The de-Broglie wavelength of a photon is the same as the wavelength of electron, show that kinetic energy of photon is (2mclambda)/h times the kinetic energy of electron, where m is the mass of electron and c is the velocity of light.

Brighter light means more photons, not more energetic photons. (True/ false)

Determine the de-Broglie wavelength of a proton, whose kinetic energy is equal to the rest mass energy of an electron. Given that the mass of an electron is 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg and the mass of a proton is 1,837 times as that of the electron.
