Quantum Theory says mass increases with speed increase
and becomes infinite when a mass reaches speed of light:c=1.
Which is against the
“Law of conservation and transformation energy/mass”.
But we know the quantum of light is real particle and
its mass is particular and not infinite.
How to understand this contradiction?
And the scientists invented an artful way: the quantum
does not possess the mass of rest and it is always in motion.
==============
The quantum of light has not mass of rest equal to zero.
But…….
=============
The Soviet/Russian academic S. Vavilov suggested an
interesting idea. In his book ' Isaac Newton' he wrote.
The force, according to the Newton’s Second Law,
is equal to : F= ma.
This force is possible to consider as absolute independent
quantity - impulse. When in case with light quanta
the impulse is equal to: mc.
He continued.
Let us now imagine that light quanta falls on a black body,
and it absolutely absorbs this light quanta
( it means light quanta stops).
Then, according to the Lebedev,s law, light quanta
renders pressure on the black body: E/c.
Therefore it is possible to write: mc=E/c.
It means that according to Classic physics the stopping
light quanta has not mass of rest equal to zero, but
it has potential energy/mass: M=E/c^2. (E=Mc^2).
=========================
Of course the potential energy/mass of light quanta
can transform in its kinetic energy.
