Homework Statement
"Use the laws of conservation of relativistic momentum and energy to show that an isolated electron cannot emit a photon."
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So far I have tried to answer using the p = p' + q where q is the momentum of the photon, along with E^2 = p^2*c^2 + m^2*c^4, but am lost on how to prove that it is not possible to emit a photon.
