In part I of this note we argued that setting p=E(v,mo)v where p is momentum and E energy of a free particle and using d/dx (partial) A(x,t) = p and d/dt (partial) A(x,t) = -E one may obtain special relativistic results for a free particle with a rest mass of mo. In particular A(x,t) is set equal to L(v)t with v=x/t yielding p=dL/dv and E= pv-L from which one may create a differential equation using p=Ev. From L, one has p=dL/dv and finally E=p/v and finds that E=mo/sqrt(1-vv) (c=1) and p=Ev. This leads to the well-known EE=pp+momo. If one sets mo=0, one has E=pc, but for mo, E=mo/sqrt(1-vv)=0 so we wish to examine the photon result in more detail. The photon solution is linked to a special solution of A=-Et+px which does not hold for a pa...
