Abstract:
A mass-energy equivalence equation is derived as E = ½ mc^2, by considering an electrostatic field F as a physical medium having pressure P and density d, transmitting light at speed c given by c2 = P/d. This mass-energy equation is different from the relativistic mass-energy equivalence law E = mc2. Mass of a particle is assumed to be constant, rest mass mo, independent of speed. Emission of radiation, not mass increasing with speed, prevents a charged particle, accelerated by an electric field, from going above the speed of light. Intrinsic energy of a particle of mass m, is deduced as E = ½ mc^2.
