    The dynamic mass of electron having rest mass \[{{m}_{0}}\] and moving with speed 0.8 c is

    A)  \[0.6\,{{m}_{0}}\]                          

    B)  \[0.8\,{{m}_{0}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{5}{3}\,{{m}_{0}}\]           

    D)         \[1.25\,{{m}_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to theory of relativity, \[m=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{\sqrt{1\left( -\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}} \right)}}\] Here \[u\] = 0.8 c \[\therefore \]  \[^{m=}\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{\sqrt{\left\{ 1-{{\frac{0.8\,c}{c}}^{2}} \right\}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{\sqrt{1-0.64}}=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{0.6}\]                                 \[=\frac{5}{3}{{m}_{0}}\]
