Question:
The particle having zero mass is
The particle having zero mass is
Show Hint
Photons are massless particles that carry electromagnetic energy and travel at the speed of light.
Updated On: May 13, 2025
- proton
- neutron
- photon
- electron
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A photon is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation and it is known to have zero rest mass. Unlike protons, neutrons, and electrons which are massive particles, photons can travel at the speed of light precisely because they are massless.
