Well, the energy of each photon is (Planck's Konstant 'h') times (frequency 'f'),
and it's also [ KE = 1/2 m V2 ].
But V = speed of light = c .
Set the two expressions for energy equal.
h f = 1/2 m c2
Multiply each side by 2:
2 h f = m c2
Divide each side by c2, and you have the mass of one photon:
m = 2 h f / c2
This bothers us, because of you go two equations back, you have, as we said,
2 h f = m c2 .
The [ 2 h f ] on the left side is double the energy of the photon. But if there's one
thing that everybody knows about Relativity, it's the fact that [mc2=E], not 2E.
This is a problem about which we don't really feel like worrying right now.
Light does not have mass. It consists of electromagnetic waves that do not possess rest mass.
Light has no mass. It is composed of photons, which are particles that do not have any mass.
No, light does not have mass. Light is composed of particles called photons, which have no rest mass, but they do have momentum and energy.
Light does not have mass. It was through experiments and theories in physics that it was established that light, being composed of massless particles called photons, does not have mass.
light has zero mass. Photons have zero mass. So according to e=mc2 light must also have zero energy. Astonishing how all these photons reach us from all the way across the universe! But all physical things have mass

yes, light has a mass that is what Albert Einstein said.
Light hasn't mass.
Any energy - including light - has an associated mass.
Light has no mass. That's why it is called "light" (Physics joke).
Light is a type of energy.Energies do not have a mass or occupy space.
The only thing that travels at the speed of light, is light. Light is also said to have no mass, therefore the only way for something to travel at the speed of light is for it to have no mass.
No, a mass cannot travel at the speed of light according to Einstein's theory of relativity, as its mass would become infinite which is not physically possible. Photons are particles of light that always travel at the speed of light and have zero rest mass.
Um... yes? Light is a form of energy. Energy has mass.
