recognized of all scientific formulas is Einstein’s relationship
between energy and mass: E = mc2. By precisely measuring mass
differences between ions, Prichard and co-workers showed that
Einstein’s famous relationship is good to at least 0.00004% [1].
Extending such high precision measurements to measuring the
masses of much lower energy UV-Vis photons would require
significant improvements in instrumentation. An alternate
method, which can be used to determine the energy of a photon
directly from a mass measureme
