About Relativistic Momentum
Relativistic momentum p = γm₀v increases without bound as velocity approaches c, unlike classical momentum. The energy-momentum relation E² = (pc)² + (m₀c²)² is Lorentz invariant. For massless particles (photons), E = pc. The de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p relates momentum to quantum wave properties.
