New concept of quantum and its classical physics explanation

Jiqing Zeng

Published Nov 24, 2020• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, the problems existing in the concepts of Planck's energy element and Einstein's light quantum are analyzed, and new concepts of quantum and electronic transition power are proposed. The new concept of quantum eliminates the inherent contradiction of the old quantum concept, and can explain the structure and spectral phenomena of hydrogen atom and photoelectric effect completely on the basis of classical physics without Bohr's "quantization hypothesis". The new concept of quantum breaks the gap between macro and micro, eliminates the contradiction between "classical physics" and "quantum mechanics", and lays an important foundation for the reconstruction of unified macro and micro physics.

Classical physical mechanism of quantum production and its explanation for hydrogen atom structure and photoelectric effect

Jiqing Zeng

In this paper, the problems existing in the concepts of Planck's energy element and Einstein's light quantum are analyzed, and the alternate concept of quantum and a new concept of electron transition power were proposed. This paper clarifies the common misunderstanding in classical electromagnetics that the electron will radiate electromagnetic wave when it moves around the nucleus in a uniform circular motion and points out that the electron will radiate and absorb electromagnetic waves only when it moves around the nucleus in an accelerated or decelerated motion with a change of frequency and expounds the classical physical mechanism of quantum generation. Based on this, the quantization of electron orbital energy level of hydrogen atom and the phenomenon of spectrum are explained without Bohr's “quantization hypothesis.” In addition, the photoelectric effect is explained by using the modified quantum concept. The modified quantum concept and its mechanism of classical physics break the gap between macro and micro physics, eliminate the contradiction between “classical physics” and “quantum mechanics,” and lay an important foundation for the reconstruction of unified macro and micro physics.

Classical physical mechanism of quantum production and its explanation for hydrogen atom structure and photoelectric effect

Zeng Jiqing

In this paper, the problems existing in the concepts of Planck’s energy element and Einstein’s light quantum are analyzed, and the alternate concept of quantum and a new concept of electron transition power were proposed. This paper clarififies the common misunderstanding in classical electromagnetics that the electron will radiate electromagnetic wave when it moves around the nucleus in a uniform circular motion and points out that the electron will radiate and absorb electromagnetic waves only when it moves around the nucleus in an accelerated or decelerated motion with a change of frequency and expounds the classical physical mechanism of quantum generation. Based on this, the quantization of electron orbital energy level of hydrogen atom and the phenomenon of spectrum are explained without Bohr’s “quantization hypothesis.” In addition, the photoelectric effect is explained by using the modifified quantum concept. The modifified quantum concept and its mechanism of classical physics break the gap between macro and micro physics, eliminate the contradiction between “classical physics” and “quantum mechanics,” and lay an important foundation for the reconstruction of unifified macro and micro physics.

The origin of quantum theory in the crisis of classical physics

Robert Golub, S. K. Lamoreaux

Abstract With the failure of classical physics to explain the experimentally observed black body radiation spectrum, the photoelectric effect and the existence of narrow spectral lines in the light emitted by excited atoms, physicists were forced to reach out for new ideas. Following Planck’s initial “drastic hypothesis” of light “quanta”, Einstein led the way in exploring some of the myriad implications of this idea. In particular, the study of fluctuations led to a new understanding of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms. Einstein invented the photon by showing, through fluctuation studies, that light emitted by atoms must be in the form of plane waves. These ideas led to the first notions regarding the quantization of matter and its dynamics.

Chapter 25: Quantization of Light

Muzakir Saifful Kamaluddin

Max Planck started the revolution of quantum theory by challenging the classical physics and the classical wave theory of light. He proposed the concept of quantization of light to explain the black body radiation (which cannot be \nexplained by the classical theories). Later, Einstein extended the concept to explain the observations in photoelectric effect experiment

Quantum particles as conceptual entities. A possible explanatory framework for quantum theory

Diederik Aerts

We put forward a possible new interpretation and explanatory framework for quantum theory. The basic hypothesis underlying this new framework is that quantum particles are conceptual entities. More concretely, we propose that quantum particles interact with ordinary matter, nuclei, atoms, molecules, macroscopic material entities, measuring apparatuses,..., in a similar way to how human concepts interact with memory structures, human minds or artificial memories. We analyze the most characteristic aspects of quantum theory, i.e. entanglement and non-locality, interference and superposition, identity and individuality in the light of this new interpretation, and we put forward a specific explanation and understanding of these aspects. The basic hypothesis of our framework gives rise in a natural way to a Heisenberg uncertainty principle which introduces an understanding of the general situation of ‘the one and the many ’ in quantum physics. A specific view on macro and micro different from the common one follows from the basic hypothesis and leads to an analysis of Schrödinger’s Cat paradox and the measurement problem different from the existing ones. We reflect about the influence of this new quantum interpretation and explanatory framework on the global nature and evolutionary aspects of the world and human worldviews, and point out potential explanations for specific situations, such as the generation problem in particle physics, the confinement of quarks and the existence of dark matter. 1

On the Physical Process and Essence of the Photoelectric Effect

Weihong Qian

A hundred years ago, Planck and Einstein and others created quantum theories or quantum mechanics while they explained the photoelectric effect. Planck and Einstein empirically obtained a statistical relationship between the energy of light quantum and the frequency of light but have not studied the physical process and essence of the photoelectric effect, so some photoelectric phenomena are difficult to be explained by existing quantum mechanics currently. In this paper, a dynamical process of orthogonal interaction between a photon and an electron to form a new state of matter in photoelectric effect experiments is studied so finding that the Planck constant is a product value of the mass, length, and velocity of a high-energy particle. The dynamics of the orthogonal collision of matter (particles) can not only give the physical process and essence of the photoelectric effect, but also have great significance for the further development of quantum mechanics. It can physically explain phenomena such as wave-particle duality and quantum entanglement in the motion of high-energy particles. Its prospects can be widely used in cosmic physics, macro physics, and micro physics.
