Abstract

This paper first argues that the definition of rest mass should have different values in different reference frames. The author demonstrates that this new definition of rest mass can precisely explain the physical essence of the de Broglie wave function. Through a thought experiment, the author proves that photons also possess a minimum rest mass, the magnitude of which corresponds to the energy unit associated with Planck's constant.
