← ScienceWhich consequence results when relativistic kinetic energy increases beyond predicted?
A)Rest mass increases exponentially
B)Speed approaches light’s speed✓
C)Wavelength compresses significantly
D)Half-life shifts proportionally
💡 Explanation
As kinetic energy input rises, relativistic effects increase the mass toward near-infinite momentum because the Lorentz transformation limits the speed, therefore the particle speed approaches, but does not exceed, light speed, rather than the mass exponentially increasing.
