Explanation of a nonlinear phenomenon based on modified electromagnetic wave concept

ORAL

Abstract

The photon concept can explain almost all phenomena of light but it has few limitations. The energy equation of the photon is not suitable for high intensive light such as a laser. Also it cannot explain the intensity effect of the photoelectric effect. The energy of a photon at constant frequency remains unchanged even if the intensity of the light changes. If a photon collides with an electron and the electron absorbs the total energy of the photon. Then, the kinetic energy of the electron should remain constant at constant frequency even as the intensity of the light changes. This logical fact of the photon concept does not match with the experimental results of the photo-electron ejection. To solve the nonlinear problems, we have modified the electromagnetic (EM) wave theory. The frequency has been added to the Poynting vector. Also, we have shown that the phase difference between the electric and magnetic fields of the EM waves is 90 degrees. After that, the photoelectric effect has been explained by the modified EM wave concept. Accordingly, the electrons rotate under light. The half portion of the circular path of the surface electron is situated outside of the photocell. So, the electron comes out from the photocell at a moment of a time period. The frequency of the rotation is equal to the frequency of the light. And the value of the radius of the circular path is proportional to the values of the electric and magnetic field as well as the intensity of light. The concept reveals that the kinetic energy (as well as the value of the linear velocity, V = 2pfr) of the rotational electron depends on both the frequency and the intensity of light. The frequency and intensity effects of the photoelectric effect have been observed by an experiment. The experimental observations have been matched with the theoretical explanation smoothly. The orbital electron transition process and some more phenomena of the particle nature of light have been explained by the new process. The nonlinear (and also linear) phenomena such as harmonic and non harmonic generations, anti-Stokes scattering etc. are explainable by the modified EM wave concept easily. It is expected that the explanations will create an innovative dimension in the field of classical theory of light, which may increase in all areas of the quantum mechanics.
