do photons have any mass?
436292
Light is composed of photons, so we could ask if the photon has mass. The answer is then definitely "no": the photon is a massless particle. According to theory it has energy and momentum but no mass, and this is confirmed by experiment to within strict limits.

While photons are spawned by movement in electrons, gravitons are whelped by energy and mass. Gravitons are massless, but they do carry energy. This means a graviton can create more gravitons. Like other quantum particles, gravitons can carry a lot of energy, or momentum, when confined to a small space.

Electrons are actually much smaller than protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have masses which are equal to 1 atomic mass unit. ... The mass of an electron is about 1/1800 the mass of a proton.

In terms of mass, the electron is smaller; its mass is roughly one fifth that of the lightest quark. In terms of geometric size, to the best of our knowledge, they are both fundamental particles, hence point-like.

Energy can be converted into mass. Mass of free protons and neutrons is more than mass of protons and neutrons inside a nucleus. We have to give some energy to nucleus to free protons and neutrons. ... For photons with high energy pair production is the dominant mode of photon interaction with matter.

Gamma rays (γ) are weightless packets of energy called photons. Unlike alpha and beta particles, which have both energy and mass, gamma rays are pure energy. Gamma rays are similar to visible light, but have much higher energy.

The mass of an alpha particle is 6.645×10−27 kg, while the mass of an electron is 9.11×10−31 kg. Note that you could not solve this by adding together the masses of two protons and two neutrons to get the mass of the alpha, because this would not take into account the binding energy of the particle.

Energy can be converted into mass. Mass of free protons and neutrons is more than mass of protons and neutrons inside a nucleus. ... That energy is converted into mass. One more good example is PAIR PRODUCTION in which energy (photon)is converted into mass (particle and antiparticle).

As you add more protons and neutrons, the mass increases. ... On the other hand, if you are speaking of size, then atoms are all about the same size whether it's a hydrogen atom (the simplest and least massive with one proton and one electron) or a lead atom (with 82 protons, 82 electrons and 125 neutrons).

Protons have a mass that is 1,836 times that of the electron, at 1.6726×10-27 kg, while neutrons are the most massive of the three, at 1.6929×10-27 kg (1,839 times the mass of the electron). The total number of protons and neutrons in an atoms' nucleus (called "nucleons") is called the mass number.

The Higgs boson does not technically give other particles mass. More precisely, the particle is a quantized manifestation of a field (the Higgs field) that generates mass through its interaction with other particles.

Photon energy. Photon energy is the energy carried by a single photon. The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy.

I'm only here to make the pun answer ( based on that person's reply about it being obvious X-Ray Photons have no mass because they are photons) : Clearly not! This is fun for me because it's an X-Ray joke, a physics joke, a pun, a joke about light particles - as well as the correct answer to this question.

Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass e.g in a 150 person 149 lbs, 15 oz are protons and neutrons while only 1 oz. is electrons. The mass of an electron is very small (9.108 X 10-28 grams). Both the protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus.

Atomic Mass Although similar in mass, protons are positively charged, while neutrons have no charge. Therefore, the number of neutrons in an atom contributes significantly to its mass, but not to its charge.

Mass: how much matter is in an object. We measure mass by weighing, but Weight and Mass are not really the same thing. These are the most common measurements: Grams.

The "particles" of light are called photons and have no mass. In contrast, matter is made up of particles that do have mass. Sound is a little different in that it is the propagation of a pressure wave through a medium of particles. Since it is a wave, it is not considered a form of matter.
