Light consists of photons, but an assembly of photons has a property called wavelength, which can be directly measured with a grating spectrometer with great precision. The wavelength of a single photon is not measurable with a grating spectrometer, though the energy or momentum is. Thus, when I measure the wavelength of light, is it a fair statement to say I'm detecting light as a particle? Light has a litany of properties, including some that are particle- like and some that are wave-like. It is improper to say that when light is exhibiting particle-like properties, that's when it consists of photons. It consists of photons all the time. But photons behave in ways that are unlike a usual particle description. Alternatively, you could say that photons are particles, but that the term "particle" now has to be completely redefined to mean something other than what it did in the 19th century. PD

Your 'understanding' of the physics of nature is more incorrect than de Broglie wave mechanics. The following is the reason a photon is detected as a particle. 'Interpretation of quantum mechanics by the double solution theory Louis de BROGLIE' http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-classiques/aflb124p001.pdf "I called this relation, which determines the particle's motion in the wave, "the guidance formula". It may easily be generalized to the case of an external field acting on the particle." "This result may be interpreted by noticing that, in the present theory, the particle is defined as a very small region of the wave where the amplitude is very large, and it therefore seems quite natural that the internal motion rythm of the particle should always be the same as that of the wave at the point where the particle is located." de Broglie's definition of wave-particle duality is of a physical wave and a physical particle. The particle occupies a very small region of the wave. You then went on to say this is old and there is a new 'understanding' of what a photon is. I am simply stating that your present 'understanding' of nature requires you to ignore the experimental evidence of a C-60 molecule ALWAYS being detected exiting a single slit and your present 'understanding' of nature which requires the future to determine the past. I am explaining to you how your present 'understanding' of nature is incorrect and de Broglie wave mechanics is a more correct understanding of the physics of nature. A moving C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave. The C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit in a double slit experiment while the associated aether displacement wave enters and exits multiple slits. The wave creates interference upon exiting the slits which alters the direction the C-60 molecule travels. Detecting the C-60 molecule causes decoherence of the associated aether displacement wave (i.e. turns it into chop) and there is no interference.

In a double slit experiment with a C-60 molecule the Copenhagen interpretation of QM is the C-60 molecule creates the interference pattern in and of itself. de Broglie Wave Mechanics is a more correct understanding of the physics of nature. The C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave.

When the pattern of its waves happens to match that of an electron it is passing through, the REACTION will exhibit particle-like behavior; i.e. a specific quantity of energy will be released or absorbed, That quantity, called a quantum of energy, is equal to hf, where h is a quantum of action and f is the frequency of the wave system wrt to the reacting electron,. < But photons behave in ways that are unlike a usual particle description. > That's because they aren't particles of matter. Indeed, they aren't particles of energy either; they are quantities that exist only at the instant an electron reacts with a transient bit of light. < Alternatively, you could say that photons are particles, but that the term "particle" now has to be completely redefined to mean something other than what it did in the 19th century. > Yes, you could say that a word means whatever you want it to mean, whether it means that or not. glird

Although a photon is a quantity of energy emitted or absorbed by a given object (electron); a quantity of energy is not a particle. glird |
