Mass-Energy Equivalence: Light Energy
Chinnaraji Annamalai
Abstract
The paper focuses on the mass-energy equivalence that is not defined in Einstein’s special theory of relativity. The kinetic energy defined in the classical mechanics plays a vital role in the energy-mass equation and its applications. In this article, the author discusses about two bodies relating to the mass-energy equivalence: one is a rigid body in motion and another is a body like rocket fully filled with fuel and moving in vacuum.
