Here are
many diagrams incorrectly depicting the wave – particle duality of
the nature of light
All
researchers, their experimental set up, their experimental results,
diagrams and cartoons, all interpretations of the waveform of light
is consistently incorrect.
Discussions
by KRS Murthy
The
researchers have consistently incorrectly understood and interpreted
the wave nature of light in the form of electromagnetic waves as if
the light travels like waves in water, in a pond or an ocean.
Let us
use the word “ray or ray of light” to mean the electromagnetic
wave form of light to represent the path the electromagnetic
pulsations travel forward. The biggest confusion among most or many
of the physicists, teachers of physics, including university
professors, from the most reputed and celebrated universities to less
well known universities, is in interpreting in pictures or cartoons
and also in graphical forms. The very word “wave” seems to have
created worldwide confusions and misunderstanding of the nature of
light.
In
graphical representations, in addition to the ocean wave like
presentations, electric and magnetic field vectors are shown in
graphical forms, with the two vectors perpendicular to each other,
with that plane being perpendicular to the direction of light
transmission.
Correct
Interpretation by KRS Murthy:
Really,
those two vectors should only mean to graphically represent the
strength of the electric and magnetic fields. The fields are confined
to a point, which is moving at the speed of light. The vectors should
simply mean to represent the field pulsations for the electric and
magnetic fields, as they are at the same time moving forward in the
direction of light, again at the speed of light.
The
perpendicularity of the two fields actually represents their mutual
orthogonality; the two fields are not geometrically perpendicular to
each other. The electric field is pulsating from zero to high (or its
maximum) and back to zero, the magnetic field in temporal
orthogonality is going from high (maximum) to zero. The two fields
are centered on the same axis of the direction of the transmission of
ray. Here the term “ray” only represents the direction of light
traversal. The frequency of the pulsation of the electric and
magnetic fields, in temporal orthogonality to each other, is the
represented by the equation E = hf, where E is the energy of the ray
of light, h is the Plank’s constant and f is the frequency of the
pulsation of the electric and magnetic orthogonal pair. It is
important to note that the magnetic field exists, and pulsates, only
because the electric field also pulsates; one of them would not exist
without the other; both can’t be static, but should pulsate for
light to exist and travel. In fact, the light is only a perception in
the human eye, and of those animals with eyes, and the respective
brains, with the true reality being electric and magnetic field
pulsations, similar to other much broader electromagnetic spectrum to
cover from radio, micro, infrared, through visible light, X-rays and
beyond. The wavelength of light is in the nanometer range. Here the
wavelength is the distance travelled by the electric and magnetic
field pulsations from zero to high and back to zero.
It
is also important to understand and realize that varying or pulsating
electric field generates a pulsating magnetic field mutually
orthogonally, which is mutually cause and effect to each other.
Simple variations in electric field creates magnetic field;
orthogonally simple variations in magnetic field creates electric
field. Periodic pulsations are not necessary. In light, and the full
spectrum of electromagnetic waves, the pulsations are periodic, with
a respective full spectrum of frequencies and associated wavelengths.
I have
used the words “wave” and “electromagnetic wave form of light”
in documents only and exclusively to mean my correct interpretation,
NOT as to mean waves in an ocean or a pond.
