Momentum and Photons
Momentum is intricately linked to mass and velocity, yet photons challenge this notion as they possess momentum despite being massless. As velocities approach the speed of light, traditional equations of momentum require adjustments, revealing fascinating implications for theoretical propulsion methods like solar sails. These sails could harness the momentum of sunlight, offering a unique approach to spacecraft propulsion.In this clip
