- Construct Your Own Problem Consider a highly relativistic particle. Discuss what is meant by the term "highly relativistic." (Note that, in part, it means that the particle cannot be massless.) Construct a problem in which you calculate the wavelength of such a particle and show that it is very nearly the same as the wavelength of a massless particle, such as a photon, with the same energy. Among the things to be considered are the rest energy of the particle (it should be a known particle) and its total energy, which should be large compared to its rest energy.arrow_forwardIs there any measurable difference between the momentum of a photon and the momentum of matter?arrow_forwardb) Compare these wavelengths with that of an electron traveling at 0.999c.arrow_forward
