Matter-light duality and speed greater than light

Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate duality between matter and light. Through mathematical derivation we show that every fundamental matter particle with non-zero rest mass can be represented by a pair of photons. The photons in the representation are not normal photons but a special kind of continuously generating and annihilating virtual photons, whose wave functions super impose to give the wave function of the non-zero rest mass particle and the representation is in agreement with the spin of the particle. We use this duality to derive De Broglie wavelength. We show that a moving matter wave has two frequency components, one of it is with De-Broglie wavelength h/P and the other one is with wavelength hc/E. We also correct the De-Broglie wavelength for v = 0 where we show that there is only one frequency component for v = 0 with wavelength hc/E. Later in the paper we derive that every photon can be represented by a non-zero rest mass particle pair, one going below the speed of light and the other going above the speed of light.

On the Wave-Particle Duality of the Photons and the Matter-Photon Particle Mixture Model

Boling Xi, Shisheng Wang

Relativistic quantum mechanics and many experimental results and observations show that electron-positron annihilation can produce photons; photon-matter and photon-photon interaction can also create electrons and positrons. The photons have no rest mass, e.g. relative to Lab frame, and always travel at the speed of light in the vacuum. In this paper, a rotational moving electric dipole model with negative and positive charges was proposed for photons. In a vacuum, the electric dipoles are moving in a twisted helical motion around their propagation axis (their center of mass). Photon particles are traveling at the speed of light along the propagation axis. This pair of negative and positive charged particles exerts both electrostatic and magnetic force on each other. Both forces are attractive and act as a centripetal force to keep the electric dipole in a continuous helical motion around the axis of rotation. With this model, the wave-particle duality of photons can be described simultaneously. The space is filled by matter (having rest mass relative to Lab frame) and photons (without rest mass); it is a multicomponent mixture fluid. In "vacuum", though there is no rest matter particle, but there are still photon gas particles, the total energy-momentum tensor should include rest matter particles and photon gas particles.

Information's Super-Speed and Adjustable Convey with Matter Wave's Non-Dispersive Propagation

xinye wang

The Wave-Particle Duality is a basic property of microscopic particles. As a basic concept of quantum mechanics, the wave-particle duality theory from elementary particles to big molecules had been verified by lots of experiments. Different from electromagnetic wave, the matter wave’s propagation is not only fast but also adjustable. The group velocity with which the overall envelope shape of the wave , namely the related particle’s propagation and information convey speed is changeable with its wavelength. When the particle’s energy and wavelength, in its non-dispersive propagation, reach to definite values, the group velocity can turn to very high and perhaps is possible to exceed over the light speed in vacuum. Take electron as an example, if the free electron beam gains energy higher than around 4.094×10ˉᴵ⁴J and wavelength shorter than around 2.426×10ˉᴲnm, the group velocity could surpass the light speed in vacuum. According to the special relativity theory, the light speed in vacuum is the upper limit in the Universe and no matter can exceed over that. As the de Broglie hypothesis and the deduction in this paper do not take relativity theory as premise, the conclusion in this paper should be universality. Wish this paper could provide a different viewpoint for exploration of some scientific problems, such as Faster-Than-Light movement, quantum entanglement mechanism and so on

Newton’s Theory of Light and Wave-Particle Duality

Robert J. Buenker

The long history of the dispute among physicists as to whether matter is composed of particles or waves is reviewed. A turning point came at the dawn of the 20th century in the form of the de Broglie momentum-wavelength and Bohr/Planck energy frequency relations. It was on this basis that Schrödinger developed a quantum mechanical differential equation whose solution came to be known as a wave function. The Born Interpretation of these functions holds that their absolute square constitutes a probability distribution which has been used successfully to make predictions of the properties of the system under discussion. It is pointed out that the phenomenon of light refraction played a key role in the development of both Newton’s corpuscular theory of light and the competing theory of Huygens which looks upon light as consisting exclusively of waves. It is shown that Newton’s failure to predict the decrease in the speed of light as it passes from air into water was not because of his belief in the particle composition of light, but rather because he not did anticipate that the mass of a photon changes upon entering a medium of higher index of refraction n. By assuming that the energy E of light is equal pc/n, where p is the momentum of the photons and c is the speed of light in free space, it is shown that the experimental dependence of the speed the light on its wavelength as it passes through a transparent medium is derived successfully through the use of Hamilton’s Canonical Equations and Newton’s Second Law of Kinetics. It is suggested that the relationship between particles and waves can be understood by noting that the localized properties of matter exhibit themselves in experiments such as the photoelectric effect where attention can be concentrated on the behavior of a single particle. The corresponding wave properties occur when large numbers of particles are observed under exactly similar circumstances, as for example in electron diffraction. ...........

Redefinition of De-Broglie Wavelength Associated with Material Particle

Chandra Bahadur Khadka

The objective of the work is to reveal the Association of special theory of relativity with De-Broglie wavelength of a particle. It shows that wave nature of a particle is always associated with it’s relativistic properties. The phenomena of interference, diffraction and polarization of light can only be explained on the basis of wave theory of light. These phenomena show that light possesses wave nature. However, certain phenomena like photoelectric effect, Compton effect and discrete emission and absorption of radiation can only be explained on the basis of quantum theory. According to this theory , light propagates in a small packets or quanta and behave like corpuscles or particle. This shows that light possesses particle nature. thus, we can say that light possesses dual nature. The matter also possesses the same dual nature. In order to have wave nature, the particle must satisfy the equation Where m denotes the mass of particle when it is moving with certain velocity. h=6.62×10-34 is the plank’s constant. C is the velocity of light in free space. This shows that wavelength of a material Particle depends on mass. When mathematical operation is done on above equation, it give complete quantitative properties about the wave nature of a particle.

Derivation of the Missing Equations of Special Relativity from de-Broglie’s Matter Wave Concept and the Correspondence between Them

M.O.G. Talukder, Mushfiq Ahmad

In this paper, we have considered that the particle velocity in the matter wave concept of de Broglie is relative. It reveals that matter wave associated with a moving particle is a photon wave which has longitudinal and transverse values. The conventional de-Broglie’s wavelength-momentum relation corresponds to the longitudinal wave. As a consequence, we have found the longitudinal and transverse relative values of the mass, time, length and velocity including the missing equations of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. It also reveals that momentum and energy are relative quantities and the corresponding expressions for the longitudinal and transverse values for both of them have been presented. Moreover, the addition rules, with a general expression, for all the relative quantities based on Lorentz-Einstein transformation law for the addition of velocities have been given. Finally, the maximum and minimum values of the relative quantities have been expressed in terms of Plank’s constant and the speed of light. Their numerical values have also been calculated and presented in this paper.
