Light speed is constan "c". I am puzzled

Is it in the magnetic or electric wave of light?

In which wave is the energy that liberates an electron in the photoelectric effect? Both "wave" and "particle" are models on the human mind, and have danged little to do with how Nature behaves. Why must you try and drag Her down to your level? David A. Smith

The electric wave is matterial and has the energy. Light has electric energy like an atomic bond.

Thus your treatment is limited. On EM and higher dimensions : http://uk.arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0106235 Do a Google search on "Em theory dimensions".
