Question:
rest mass of photon is zero but when it is moving it has got momentum.how can a particle with zero mass could get a momentum
Answer:
Rest mass of an object is the mass it has when its velocity is zero.
Photons or the small packets of light which are never at rest and travel at the speed of light. So in a way the term mass does not apply to a photon.
