CONCEPT:

  • Mass energy equation: This equivalence of mass and energy is a consequence of Einstein’s theory of special relativity.
    • Which simply means that mass can be converted into energy and visa-versa.
    • According to this equivalence, mass and energy are inter-convertible.
    • So whenever you have mass, it means you have got lots of energy just sitting inside. 

This is given in Einstein’s famous relation:

E = mc2

Where m is the mass in kilograms, c is the velocity of light in a vacuum c ≅3×108 m/s.

EXPLANATION:

  • From the above equation its clear that the equation for mass-energy relation was given by Albert Einstein.

The correct option is 2.
