    What will happen to the mass of electron if it travels with velocity of light?

    Answer:

                    When the electron is moving with velocity \[\upsilon \], its mass is given as \[(m)=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{{{\left( 1-\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}} \right)}^{1/2}}}\] Here \[{{m}_{0}}=\] rest mass of the electron. If \[\upsilon =c,\]  then \[m=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{{{\left( 1-\frac{{{c}^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}} \right)}^{1/2}}}\,=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{{{(1-1)}^{1/2}}}\,=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{0}\]  or \[m=\infty \] Thus, the mass of electron moving with velocity of light is infinity.
