The structure of light

 
Why does light exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behaviour?
 
A photon consists of 2 PN discon sets which face each other at an angle of 90 degrees. The N side of one discon faces the P side of the second discon.
photon
The diagram on the right shows a photon being emitted from a hydrogen atom. The photon consists of a pair of PN discon sets. 1 set is emitted by the proton and 1 set by the electron. After being emitted, the photon travels vertically away from the atom at the speed of light and follows a wave-like path.
light emission
This diagram shows the wave-like path the photon will take. It results from a combination of the photons vertical motion away from the atom at the speed of light and its horizontal motion caused by the constant mutual attraction of its 2 discons. The amplitude of the wave is equal to half the electrons orbital radius at the moment the photon was emitted from the atom. The frequency of the wave is equal to half the number of discons that form the photon.
wave-like path of light
 
When viewed from above, the photons fields can be seen overlapping in 3 areas. In area #1, positive and negative fields overlap to produce an attractive force between the 2 discons. In area #2, 2 positive fields overlap to produce a repulsive force. In area #3, 2 negative fields overlap to produce a repulsive force. The attractive force is stronger than the repulsive forces and the 2 discons accelerate towards each other.
At this point the 2 discons are travelling at high speed and pass through each other. Here the photons fields overlap in 4 areas. #1 and #4 have unlike fields overlapping and produce attractive forces. #2 and #3 have like fields overlapping and produce repulsive forces.
Once the discons have passed through each other they travel away from each other at high speed. The discons now begin to deaccelerate due to the attractive force produced in area #1. They will come to a halt when the distance between them is equal to the original distance between them when the photon was emitted from the atom. Then this process will repeat itself.

The mass of discon

 

The number of discons in a photon is equal to twice the frequency of the photon (2f).

The energy of a photon = hf Joules (Plancks constant x frequency). Therefore the energy of a single discon = hf/2f = h/2 Joules = 3.313034455 x 10ˆ-34 J.

Using e = mc^2, h/2 = mc^2, therefore the mass of a discon = h/2c^2 = 6.62606891x10ˆ-34 / (2 x 2997924582ˆ2 ) = 3.686247972 x 10^-51.

The mass of a discon = 3.686247972 x 10ˆ-51 Kg.

The least energetic photon consisting of 2 discons has a mass of 7.372495944 x 10ˆ-51 Kg and energy of 6.62606891x10ˆ-34 J.

Number of discons in an electron = electron mass / discon mass. = 9.1093897 x 10ˆ-31 Kg/3.686247972 x 10ˆ-51 Kg = 2.471182017 x 10ˆ20 discons.

Number of discons in a proton = proton mass / discon mass. = 1.6726231 x 10ˆ-27 Kg/3.686247972 x 10ˆ Kg = 4.537467671 x 10ˆ23 discons.

Number of discons in a neutron = neutron mass / discon mass. = 1.674929 x 10ˆ-27 Kg/3.686247972 x 10ˆ-51 Kg = 4.543723083 x 10ˆ23 discons.

 
The emission of a photon reduces the number of discons in an electron by an amount equal to the photons frequency. Therefore the electrons mass is reduced by the frequency of the photon times the mass of a single discon (f x md) The proton loses the same number of discons as the electron.
 

Page summary

 
  • The photon is a particle, not a wave.
  • A photon consists of 2 PN discon sets.
  • Each set contains 1 or more PN discons.
  • A photon is emitted or absorbed by a proton-electron pair.
  • 1 PN set is emitted by the proton and 1 PN set is emitted by the electron.
  • The oppositely charged fields of each PN set intersect each other creating an attractive force between the 2 parts of the photon.
  • The photon has a vertical motion at the speed of light and a horizontal motion caused by the constant mutual attraction of the 2 discons forming the photon.
  • The combination of vertical and horizontal motion causes the photon to take a wave-like path.
  • The amplitude of the wave is equal to half the electrons orbital radius at the moment the photon was emitted.
  • The frequency of the wave is equal to half the number of discons that form the photon.
  • The mass of a single discon = 3.686247972 x 10ˆ-51Kg and its energy is 3.313034455 x 10ˆ-34 J.
