Theory of Optical Resistance

L. V. Matos

Published Mar 13, 2026• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this theory, we attempt to predict the behavior of light and explain the optical duality caused by traditional physics, connecting Newtonian mechanics, wave mechanics, and, subsequently, quantum physics.

TEACHING ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY IN QUANTUM MECHANICS

Chengyuan Zhang, Guangzhi Xu, Yijie LI +2 more

Quantum mechanics is one of basics theories of modern physics, and it is also a theory established with some debates of assumptions. However, in the teaching process, if the assumption of wave-particle duality is directly given, it will be particularly difficult for students to understand. Therefore, based on the teaching practice and previous research, we assume that light corresponds to a kind of real particle starting from the classical electromagnetic theory, according to the description methods of wave optics and geometric optics, and the form of functional equations. Subsequently, employing Planck's quantum conditions, we discuss the connection between the wave nature and particle nature of light. And then the Planck-Einstein relation and the de Broglie relationship are derived, which reflect the wave-particle duality of light and real particle.

A rational explanation of wave-particle duality of light

Sergey A. Rashkovskiy

The wave-particle duality is a fundamental property of the nature. At the same time, it is one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. This gave rise to a whole direction in quantum physics - the interpretation of quantum mechanics. The Wiener experiments demonstrating the wave-particle duality of light are discussed. It is shown that almost all interpretations of quantum mechanics allow explaining the double-slit experiments, but are powerless to explain the Wiener experiments. The reason of the paradox, associated with the wave-particle duality is analyzed. The quantum theory consists of two independent parts: (i) the dynamic equations describing the behavior of a quantum object (for example, the Schrodinger or Maxwell equations), and (ii) the Born’s rule, the relation between the wave function and the probability of finding the particle at a given point. It is shown that precisely the Born’s rule results in paradox in explaining the wave-particle duality. In order to eliminate this paradox, we propose a new rational interpretation of the wave-particle duality and associated new rule, connecting the corpuscular and wave properties of quantum objects. It is shown that this new rational interpretation of the wave-particle duality allows using the classic images of particle and wave in explaining the quantum mechanical and optical phenomena, does not result in paradox in explaining the doubleslit experiments and Wiener experiments, and does not contradict to the modern quantum mechanical concepts. It is shown that the Born’s rule follows immediately from proposed new rules as an approximation.

Deterministic Mechanism of Wave-Particle Duality Based on Medium Circulation and Angular Momentum Conservation(Early Error Version)

Chengbin Song

Aiming at the core problems of traditional quantum mechanics, such as the lack of physical mechanism in probabilistic interpretation, untraceable wave function collapse, and metaphysical observation effect, this paper establishes a deterministic physical model of wave-particle duality based on the Medium circulation theory, the first principle of global angular momentum conservation, combined with nearly spherical particle entity, orthogonal double-elliptic flow velocity topology, and fine-structure geometric constant . It is clarified that the particle nature originates from the spherical local vortex entity, and the wave nature originates from the vacuum angular momentum wave field excited by the internal double-elliptic circulation. The medium propagation resistance formulas of particle state and wave state are derived, and the modulation mechanism of geometric constant on dual-state characteristics is quantified. The essence of observation behavior is revealed as exogenous angular momentum perturbation coupling, which completely explains the wave field collapse and dual-state switching caused by observation. The whole process conforms to the law of angular momentum conservation, abandons the traditional probabilistic interpretation, and constructs a causally complete and mathematically self-consistent underlying physical system for wave-particle duality.
