Difference between Fine-structure constant and Invariant mass

Fine-structure constant vs. Invariant mass

In physics, the fine-structure constant, also known as Sommerfeld's constant, commonly denoted (the Greek letter ''alpha''), is a fundamental physical constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. The invariant mass, rest mass, intrinsic mass, proper mass, or in the case of bound systems simply mass, is the portion of the total mass of an object or system of objects that is independent of the overall motion of the system.

Similarities between Fine-structure constant and Invariant mass

Fine-structure constant and Invariant mass have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Energy, Fundamental interaction, Natural units, Particle physics, Photon, Speed of light.

Energy

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.
