Here is the question I had trouble with it:
How to prove that an isolated photon cannot split into two photons going in direction other than the original direction.
I thought photon doesn't have mass, then
energy = momentum.
from momentum conservation law. If photon split into two part and travel in different direction, then it must have different mass (or at opposite direction).
That's all I have for the time being.
Thanks for the help.
