5. PHOTON MODEL SEARCH

 

5.1. The direction of the search

 

          The photon remains today the most mysterious creation of Nature. The attempts of the scientists to discover its electromagnetic structure by means of analysis of boundless experimental information  concerning behavior of photon with the help of existing physical theories till present time have not given a positive result [138], [155], [156], [160]. The main reason of such state is in the fact that in reality the photon behaves within the frames of space-matter-time unity axiom, and the physicists try to analyze its behavior with the help of  theories which operate outside this axiom [153].

             In order to find out electromagnetic model of proton it is necessary to find such theories and such mathematical models which do not contradict the  above-mentioned axiom.

           Mathematical relations which are used for the calculation of energies of photons and electrons are the safest ones. As the results of these calculations coincide with the results of experiments completely, we can have faith in such formulas. They are usually called corpuscular mathematical relations, because they describe corpuscular properties of photons. Due to the above-mentioned facts, an experiment and the mathematical relations, which describe proton as a corpuscle, remain the main source of information [158], [163], [164], [165].

        Thus, energies of protons  is calculated according to the formulas, respectively:

 

                                                                                   (11)

 

                                                                                  (12)

 

           Here  is the frequency of oscillations of the photon,  is Planck’s constant,  is mass of the photon,  is its speed.

  It is considered that the electromagnetic structure of the photon has wave nature, that’s why its speed in the wave length interval is determined according to the formula

 

                                                                                 (13) 

 

          Here  is wave oscillation frequency, i.e. number of its oscillations per second,   is wave length.

    It is clear from formulas (11), (12) and (13) that Planck’ constant has the following appearance.

 

                                                                             (14)

 

          We have got the mathematical expression of Planck’s constant . It has dimensionality, which is called moment in classical mechanics and angular momentum in physics [44], [45]. We choose a designation angular momentum, and we pay attention to the fact that it characterizes rotation of any body. In this case in order to realize the space-matter-time unity axiom it is enough that the symbols of space, matter and time are present in the mathematical expression of angular momentum at the same time. Let us consider mathematical expression of Planck’s constant (14). Here the mathematical symbol  corresponds to matter, the symbol  corresponds to space, and symbol v corresponds to time. It means that the space-matter-time unity axiom is realized in Planck’s constant when it describes body rotation process.

            The essence of angular momentum is clearly  observed when a whipping top rotates. Angular momentum prevents the whipping top from falling when it rotates. But the main thing is that angular moment is vector quantity as well as speed, body motion acceleration or force which influences it.

          Have a look at Fig.3, a. Speed    of point M is vector quantity. It is directed tangentially to its trajectory. Vector quantity , which coincides with the direction of vector , is called quantity of motion of material particle or pulse of particle.

           Angular momentum  is vector quantity as well. If the whipping top rotates counterclockwise (Fig.3, b), vector  is directed along rotation axis upwards. This vector  is vector of angular momentum and prevents the whipping top from falling.

          If Planck’s constant has dimensionality of angular momentum and if behaviour of elementary particles is described theoretically with its help, these particles as a peg-top should rotate round their axes necessarily. For many physics, it is an unexpected conclusion, and they cannot assume that Planck’s constant has vector properties.

of the ring  or  angular momentum of the ring

 

            Actually Planck’s constant has  dimensionality of angular momentum, which has vector properties. But as some physicists think, it does not mean that Planck’s constant is a vector value [70]. We shall not contradict their stereotype mentality, let us  use the  suitable possibility of hypothetical approach to this problem and consider its fruitfulness.

On this way we have to overcome a serious difficulty: we should find out what the rotation radii of the photons and the electrons are equal to?

         The matter is that in the mathematical expression of Planck’s constant  mass  is multiplied by square value of wave length  and by frequency . But wave length characterizes wave process, and dimensionality of Planck’s constant demonstrates that an electromagnetic formation, which is described by it, rotates relative to the own axis, and we are faced with the task to coordinate the wave process with the rotation one. Detailed investigations carried out by us have shown that the photon and the electron have such electromagnetic structures during rotation and motion, radii  of which are equal to lengths of their waves , i.e.

 

                                                                          (15)

        Now Planck’s constant (14) has the following appearance

 

 .                                                                                     (16)

 

         It becomes clear that  is moment of the ring, and  is angular momentum of the rotating ring. It points out to the fact that the photons and the electrons have a form which is similar to the form of the rotating ring. As Planck’s constant is vector value, the formula (11) for  the determination of energy of photon should be written in the following way

.                                                                      (17)

 

         If the rotation of the photon and the electron round  their  axes is taken into consideration, it is necessary to introduce angular frequency ω of their rotation instead of instead of linear frequency . Taking into consideration that

 

                                                                         (18)

 we shall have [43]:

                                                               (19)

 

As it is obvious, we have vector product of two parallel vectors  and . As mathematicians say, it is equal to zero vector, to which it is possible to attribute any direction, including the ones, which coincide with the directions of these  and  vector [43].

In practice only scalar product of these vectors have been used

 

                                                          (20)

 

As vectors  and  are not only parallel, but their directions coincide, an angle between them is equal to zero, that’s why formulae (19)  and  (20) acquires its traditional appearance

 

                                                                                     (21)

           The entry (19) has only theoretical meaning, it has not been used in practical calculations, that’s why vector properties of Planck’s constant have not been paid attention to. Later on we shall see that these properties play a decisive role when molecules are formed from the atoms and the ions of chemical elements. That’s why vector properties of Planck’s constant can serve as a foundation of the future theoretical chemistry.

         But as my experience with the physicists has shown, this explanation is insufficient for them. It inevitably causes a difficulty, which takes place in the  formation of  energies of single photons and single electrons. The first and the strongest objection is as follows: energy cannot be vector value. It is true if one bears in mind the fact that heat energy is totality of the photons. We live in this totality as a fish lives in water, no vector proper ties of this totality have been registered. It is necessary to dwell on this statement and to understand that vector properties are characteristic to energies of not totality of photons and electrons, but to single photons and electrons, which are disorderly oriented in this totality, that’s why in general they do not give vector properties to it.

 

 

5.2. The photon is the Carrier of Energy and Information

 

       The photon is an electromagnetic formation being localized in space. Electromagnetic radiation, which carries energy and information in space, originates from this formation. As electromagnetic radiation transfers information and energy, the photon is the elementary carrier of energy and information. It appears from this that the structure of the photon is connected with the structure of electromagnetic radiation, which is represented in the form a electromagnetic wave (Fig.4) [125].

       It is known that electromagnetic radiation is spread with velocity of light . Its wavelength  is changed in the range of  and frequency  is changed in the range of  . The whole electromagnetic spectrum is divided into bands (Table 1).

 

Table 1. Electromagnetic spectrum bands

1. Low- frequency band

2. Broadcast band

3. Microwave band

4. Relic band (maximum)

5. Infrared band

6. Light band

7. Ultraviolet band

8. Roentgen band

9. Gamma band

 

       The wave-length of maximal intensity of electromagnetic radiation of the whole Universe is nearly one millimetre (relic band) [104], [105]. The law of the change of this intensity resembles the law of intensity of radiation of a blackbody. That’s why it has been ascribed to cooling of the Universe since the creation of the Universe [105].

        One more hypothesis has appeared recently [8]. The relic radiation band corresponds to the limit of existence of the single photons [26], [18]. There are no single photons wit the wave-length of more than the wave-length of the relic band. Maximum is formed here due to the fact that all photons with the wave-length of less than the wave-length of relic radiation lose their energy gradually in the process of their life interacting with the atoms and the molecules of the environment in accordance with Compton effect, they increase the wave length and enter the relic band [109].    

     Now let’s recollect an idea of the Indian scientist Bose, who in 1924 supposed that electromagnetic field is a collection of the photons, which has been called an ideal photon gas by him [104]. Albert Einstein liked this idea very much, and he translated his article from English into German and sent it to a journal of physics [104]. Figure 4 shows Allan Holden’s concept concerning the formation of electromagnetic wave-length by photon gas [106],  [141].

         The diagram is remarkable for the fact that according to Allan Holden, an electromagnetic wave is formed by the pulses of single photons, which are represented as the balls of different sizes by the author. The balls are the photons. The question arises at once in what way does a size of the photon depend on the length of the wave?

 

 

 

 

Fig. 4. Diagram of electromagnetic wave with the length of  l after Allan Holden [106]

 

 

          Later on we’ll show that the wave-length  of a single photon is equal to radius  of its rotation, i.e. the wave-length of the photon determines the area of location of each separate photon in space [26], [18], [88]. In Fig. 4, radius of each ball is equal to the wave-length of the photon, and the distance between the pulses of the photons is equal to the wave-length, for example, of the radio signal.

         In relic range, the infrared photon has minimal energy  , minimal mass  and minimal frequency , but maximal wave length  (or radius of rotation ) (Table 1):

 

                                                        (22)

                                                               (23)

 

                                                       (24)

 

         The gamma-photon has maximal energy  maximal mass and maximal frequency  , but minimal wave length  (or radius of rotation ):

 

                                                                  (25)

 

                                                                       (26)

 

                                                     (27)

 

         As it is clear, the gamma photon is the least one, and the infrared photon is the largest one.

         Thus, maximal wave length of single photons corresponds to the relic range, and the minimal wave length corresponds to gamma range (Table 1). From the relic range to the gamma range, the wave length of the photon is reduced by ten orders of magnitude, and frequency is increased in the same manner. As the photons of all ranges move with one and the same velocity  and form the electromagnetic radiation waves, electromagnetic radiation velocity of all ranges is one and the same [10], [109].

         So, the suggested hypothesis divides the scale of electromagnetic radiations into two classes: the photon one and the wave one. The photons are single electromagnetic formations emitted by the electrons of the atoms. The group of the photons emitted by the electrons of the atoms forms a field, which is called an electromagnetic field. It can be continuous or pulsed (Fig. 4). The pulses of the photons form the waves, which behaviour is studied in electrodynamics. A detection of the structure of the photon is a task of quantum mechanics.

          The attempts to disclose the structure of the photon with the help of Maxwell’s equations suggested by him in 1865 are of no success [70], [106]. That’s why we’ll try to find another approach to the solution of this task. We’ll begin from the detailed analysis of the existing mathematical models, which describe behaviour of the photon [109].

          As a model of the photon remained unknown, the mathematical relations describing its behaviour were not derived, but postulated. If the mathematical relation describing behaviour of the photon at the complete lack of information concerning its model were found, it would be a great achievement of theoretical physics. These relations are as follows [4], [70], [109], [115], [116]:

 

relation of energy

                                                                             (28)

relation of velocity

                                                                                    (29)

relation of pulse

                                                              (30)

Planck’s  constant

                                                  (31)

 

Heisenberg’s  inequality

                                                                     (32)

 

binding between linear frequency   and angular frequency

 

                                                                           (33)

 

      The equation of Louis de Broglie, which describes the wave properties of the photon can be added to these relations.

                                                           (34)  

 

         Thus, the electromagnetic model of the photon should be such that all mathematical equations (28-34) describing its behaviour can be derived from the analysis of its motion.

 

 

5.3. Photon Model Structure

 

           As the photon has mass  in motion, it is natural that it has a centre of mass, i.e. such point, to which it is possible to bring the whole mass of the photon, and motion of this point will characterize motion of the whole photon. The wave properties of the photon denote that this point (centre of mass) moves along wave track. Constant velocity of motion of the photons of all ranges denotes that the tracks of motion of the centres of masses of the photons of all frequencies are the same. It is natural that in this case the structure of the photons of all frequencies should be equal. Where is this structure hidden?

          Let us pay attention to the fact that energies of the photons of all frequencies are determined according to one and the same elementary formula . We write Planck’s constant in a spread form .

         As Planck’s constant has dimensionality of angular momentum, its persistence denotes that the law of conservation of angular momentum governs this persistence.

         We are overwhelmed by persistence of Planck’s constant [3], [11]. It is confirmed by many calculations and many experimental data. It denotes that some fundamental law of the nature governs persistence of Planck’s constant. Now we see that this law is the law of conservation of angular momentum. It reads that if no external force influences a rotating body, angular momentum of this body remains constant [75], [98], [99].

            What electromagnetic structure should the photon have in order to provide this astonishing combination of its parameters (), which vary in such wide range that their product remains constant? What forces should provide these changes and localization of the photon in space during motion with such great velocity ()?   Let us consider mathematical models, which determine energy of the photon:

 

.                                        (35)

 

        As energies of the photons of all frequencies are equal to , mass m is the main changeable parameter of the photon.  The photon has such electromagnetic structure that the product of frequency of the photon  by radius of its rotation  should remain constant during the change of mass .

 As  for the photons of the whole scale of electromagnetic radiation, all of them should have such structure that the change of mass  would preserve the product of frequency of the photon  by radius of its rotation  constant and equal to .

           Thus, two constants hide the structure of the photon: Planck’s constant and velocity of motion of the photon, i.e. velocity of light. According to Planck’s constant, the structure of the photon should be such that the product of mass of the photon  by square of wavelength  and by frequency v will remain constant for the photon of any wavelength or vibration frequency. Besides, the product of wavelength  by frequency v should remain constant  as well.

         We have only one opportunity: we should suppose that persistence of Planck’s constant  and persistence of velocity  of motion of the photons of all ranges are ensured by equality between electromagnetic forces generated by electromagnetic fields of the photon and centrifugal forces of inertia influencing the centres of masses of these fields.

         How do these forces manage to take place? Electromagnetic nature of the photon predetermines availability of the electromagnetic forces, and availability of rotating mass predetermines availability of the centrifugal forces of inertia. It appears from this that localization of the photon in space is provided by the electromagnetic forces and the centrifugal forces of inertia equalizing each other. As the centrifugal forces of inertia have radial directions from the centre of rotation, the magnetic component of the electromagnetic forces should have radial direction, but to the centre of rotation.

            Thus, the electromagnetic model of the photon should consist of the parts influenced simultaneously by the magnetic forces directed to the centre and the centrifugal forces of inertia directed from the centre. It is natural to suppose that these forces are applied at the distance of radius  from the centre of the model, i.e. in the points being the centres of separate electromagnetic fields. We should accept that along the radii of the model such magnetic fields are arranged, which are formed by the bar magnets.

             In order that the magnetic fields compress the model, the bar magnets of two opposite radii should be directed to each other with unlike magnetic poles. A question arises: how many magnetic poles should a model of the photon contain? We’ll get an analytical answer to this question. Now we note that radius  of the models is equal to the length of its wave . Only under this condition, energy intensity of the motion process of the photon model proves to be a minimal one [8], [18], [26].

          The diagram of electromagnetic model of the photon shown in Fig. 5, a originates from this. The same model simulated by Walter Krauser, the German physic [21], with the help of the constant magnets is given in Fig. 5, b.

          As it is clear (Fig. 5), the model of the photon consists of six magnetic fields, which are closed with each other, are girded with electric fields during the motion of the model and pass into electromagnetic fields. Magnetic fields of the photon are similar to magnetic fields of the bar magnets. Field vectors of these magnetic fields alternate in such a way that they are directed along one diameter in one and the same direction at the opposite fields compressing the photon. As the photon is in motion all the time, the magnetic forces compressing the photon are equalized by the centrifugal forces.

          The model is complicated, but only in this models the law of conservation of angular momentum is realized in the following way.

         It is known that if mass (energy) of the photon is increased, the length of its wave is decreased. The model of the photon elicited by us shows why such legitimacy exists. Because this process is governed by the law of conservation of angular momentum . As mass m of the photon is increased, density of its electromagnetic fields is increased (Fig. 5); due to this fact, the electromagnetic forces compressing the photon are increased; all the time, they are equalized by the centrifugal forces of inertia influencing the centres of masses of these fields. It leads to the reduction of  the photon rotation radius , which is always equal to the length of its wave . But as radius  is squared in the expression of Planck’s constant, photon vibration frequency  should be increased in order to preserve persistence of Planck’s constant. Due to it, an insignificant change of mass of the photon changes its rotation radius  and frequency  automatically in such a way that angular momentum (Planck’s constant) remains constant. Thus, preserving their electromagnetic structure the photons of all frequencies change mass, frequency and wavelength in such a way that . It means that the law of conservation of angular momentum governs the principle of this change.

          We get the same clear and explicit answer to the next fundamental question: why do the photons of all frequencies move in vacuum with the same velocity?

          It is so, because the change of photon frequency v is a consequence of the change of its mass, which in its turn changing density of electromagnetic fields of the photon leads to the change of its rotation radius, which is always equal to the wavelength. These changes take place in such a way that the product of frequency  by the wavelength  is always constant for the photons of all frequencies and is equal to  (29). It is important to pay attention to the fact that velocity of the centre of mass M of the photon (Fig. 5) should be changed in the interval of the wavelength in such a way that its average value remains constant and equal to  (Fig. 5).

          If our assertions are correct, we should deduct analytically all relations (28)-(34), which describe its behaviour, from the analysis of motion of the model of the photon being obtained. To this effect, we should retrace the wave motion of the centre of mass M of the whole photon and the centres of mass  of its separate electromagnetic fields.

           There is a diagram of displacement of the centre of mass M of the photon and the centre of mass  of one of its electromagnetic field in the interval of the length  of one wave in Fig. 6 [8], [18], [26].

        Centroidal motion M of the photon is simulated by point M, which is situated at the distance   from the centre of conditional circumference of radius
