Unifying the wave-particle dual natures of light

Mechanism-Revealed Physics (11/40) ----- by Bingcheng Zhao

The wave-particle dual natures of light have been proven dynamically unified: the dynamics of OEPIEP law* determines that an electron, being a discrete tiny particle, simultaneously possesses wave nature, and its wave nature is explicitly reflected in its periodic impulse closely around its equilibrium orbit. Furthermore, the wave-particle dual natures of the electron are dynamically thus mechanistically and essentially unified, i.e., the wave-particle dual natures of the electron are dynamically inseparable thus essentially indispensable. As a result, photons (light), since their being emitted from electron, not only inherit the wave-particle natures from the electron emitting them, but also the wave-particle dual natures of light are dynamically thus mechanistically and essentially unified. Therefore, OEPIEP law* unifies the wave-particle dual natures of light by dynamically thus mechanistically and essentially unifying the wave-particle dual natures of the electron emitting light (P. 218 ~222, 2.7, Ch.2B, reference #1). (*Note, OEPIEP law = the law of orbiting electron periodic impulse emitting photons, P. 193 ~ 214, Ch.2A, reference #1).

The fundamentally profound implications of unifying the wave-particle dual natures of light: (i) the wave nature and particle nature of light turn out to be dynamically inseparable and essentially indispensable, thereby being fundamentally compatible and inherently consistent. (ii) The unification of the wave-particle dual natures of light terminates the history in which the wave nature and particle natures of light are factually incompatible thus actually contradictory with each other. (iii) The velocity of light as particles (photons) is equal to the speed of light as waves in magnitude, thus ultimately solving the long-standing puzzle — why light does not require any physical medium for its propagation.

The key to understanding of the unification of the wave-particle dual natures of light: (i) asking the question “can the wave-particle dual natures of light be dynamically unified?” (ii) After finding out the common dynamic mechanism behind the two phenomena (i.e., the wave nature and particle nature of light), then the two phenomena turn out to be dynamically and mechanistically unified. (iii) Revealing the mechanism behind the phenomenon of the wave-particle dual natures of light is the unification of its dual natures.

The applications of the unification of the wave-particle dual natures of light: (i) only the unification of wave-particle dual natures of light can mechanistically thus essentially explain the following two experiments: single-slit diffraction occurs when only one photon at a time is emitted from the source of light; double-slit interference occurs when only one photon at a time is emitted from the source of light (P. 221, reference #1). (ii) A variety of microwave ovens widely used at present, being the product within the paradigm of the theory of wave-particle dual natures of light, inherently possesses the drawback that heating is seriously not uniform, consequently incurring in the significant loss of some vital nutrient elements — certain part has to be overheated, and also affecting energy efficiency. With the dynamic unification of the wave-particle dual natures of light, some insightful and determined entrepreneurs can bring us new generation of microwave ovens that will overcome the inherent drawbacks of the ‘old’ generation of microwave ovens (P. 222, reference #1).
