摘要
Einstein’s energy-momentum relationship is a formula that typifies the special theory of relativity (STR). According to the STR, when the velocity of a moving body increases, so does the mass of the body. The STR asserts that the mass of a body depends of the velocity at which the body moves. However, when energy is imparted to a body, this relation holds because kinetic energy increases. When the motion of an electron in an atom is discussed at the level of classical quantum theory, the kinetic energy of the electron is increased due to the emission of energy. At this time, the relativistic energy of the electron decreases, and the mass of the electron also decreases. The STR is not applicable to an electron in an atom. This paper derives an energy-momentum relationship applicable to an electron in an atom. The formula which determines the mass of an electron in an atom is also derived by using that relationship.
