E=hf, this is the answer I was looking for.. thanks

Understood.. E² = p²c² + (mc²)² adjusts for relative inertia of a mass. For the initial intent E=MC^2 was fine since the momentum of the matter in question wasn't significant.

Thanks for the response. I didn't say "energy is equal to matter times light squared". I said that it seems like E=MC^2 is similar to Energy = (the amount of matter) ( the amount of energy in light) and that the amount of energy in light is equal to the kinetic energy of light. I guess it would...

Piggybacking off Ted's question, why not just say that the equation is E=ML? [ Where L = kinetic energy in light MV^2 with no M] The equation E= MC^2 is solving for total energy in a quantity of matter and since light is weightless, Kinetic energy in light is simply its velocity, no? What is...
