Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.

An electric field of 1.32 kV/m and a magnetic field of 0.516 T act on a moving electron to produce no net force. If the fields a

Answer:

The speed of the electron is $2.55\times 10^3\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of electric field, $E=1.32\ kV/m=1.32\times 10^3\ V/m$

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 0.516 T

Both the magnetic and electric fields are acting on the moving electron. Then, the magnitude of electric field and magnetic field is balanced such that :

$evB=eE\\\\v=\dfrac{E}{B}\\\\v=\dfrac{1.32\times 10^3}{0.516}\\\\v=2558.13\ m/s$
