Solution

The rest mass of a photon is zero. Photons are particles of light and they move at the speed of light. According to the principles of special relativity, any object that moves at the speed of light must have zero rest mass.

According to newton’s Law of gravitation, any two particles of the universe attract each other with a force which is proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. If  and  are masses of two particles separated by distance r then force between them is given as , where G is called universal gravitational constant.According to Max Planck the light is collection of photons such that energy of each photon is  where  is frequency of the photon and h is called Planck’s constant.According to Einstein if m is mass of a particle (or sometime called dynamic mass of the particle) then its energy is given by the relation  where c is speed of light.If [G], [h] and [c] are taken as fundamental quantities then dimensions of mass is:
