Mass in special relativity the mass of a moving particle." When the relative velocity is zero, formula_33 is simply equal to 1, and the relativistic mass is reduced to the rest mass as one can see in the next two equations below. As the velocity increases toward the speed of light "c", the denominator of the right side approaches zero, and consequently formula_33 approaches infinity. In the formula for momentum the mass that occurs is the relativistic mass. In other words, the relativistic mass is the proportionality constant between the velocity and the momentum. While Newton's second law remains valid in the form the
Effective mass (solid-state physics) charge. The ultimate speed of integrated circuits depends on the carrier velocity, so the low effective mass is the fundamental reason that GaAs and its derivatives are used instead of Si in high-bandwidth applications like cellular telephony. In April 2017, researchers at Washington State University claimed to have created a fluid with negative effective mass inside a Bose–Einstein condensate, by engineering the dispersion relation. Effective mass (solid-state physics) In solid state physics, a particle's effective mass (often denoted ) is the mass that it "seems" to have when responding to forces, or the mass that it seems to have when
