Does Light quanta has a rest mass?

Question

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 rest mass: M=E/c^2. (E=Mc^2).
=========================
What is your opinion?

Answer 1

As far as physicists and chemists are concerned, light has no rest mass. If a black body were to absorb some form of radiation, that simply means that the energy the photon contains would be absorbed by an electron, which would be bumped to a higher state. Thus the photon doesn't really "stop"; it is just converted into electronic energy.

Answer 2

I think the rest mass of light can only be considered in the context of potential energy. Otherwise Time would have to be ignored because theory implies that it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate mass to c^^2. Since mass and energy are different forms of the same thing, at c^^2 a light quanta would have infinite mass.
Just some thoughts.

Answer 3

An excellent thought indeed. But the basic problem with this thought, as far as I'm concerned, is that Newton's Laws of Motion are based on several assumptions, which are sort of O.K. when one is dealing with macroscopic particles, at most particles at molecular level, but not at atomic level, because then many other forces come into play, which cannot be ignored. So, Quantum Theory deals with atomic level discussions.

Answer 4

between the parameters for the life of sunshine quanta is the associated fee of sunshine. while a gentle quanta comes into life it has no velocity,so it would desire to develop as much as "C" the theory that limits the associated fee of sunshine additionally limits it:s acceleration fee. while the emitter is became on the beam travels during emission and quickens from 0 to "C" in a distance of 1cm in one thirty-billionths of a 2nd.

Answer 5

Not possible, not observed in physical reality.
