A photon has a rest mass of:

Answer: zero.

  • A zero
  • B a large value
  • C a negative value
  • D infinity

Correct answer: A. zero

Explanation: Photons are massless; they travel at the speed of light.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
