Corpuscular nature of light book=85
Finally, after a long delay the book related to corpuscular theory of
light is ready for publishing.
In the book, quanta hypothesis and the actual wave-corpuscular
duality, is rule out.
In short, the proposed theory split the actual electromagnetic domain
in two different region:
-radio wave and microwave having a wave character
-IR, VIS, UV, Xray, gamma domain having a corpuscular character.
Principal differences between these two categories are analyzed in the
book.
1. radio and microwave are produced as result of a RLC oscillator or
as result of a electron or nucleus magnetic moment flip; by comparison
photons are produced by electron (or nuclear) transition between two
orbits without magnetic moment flip. There is no charge oscillation
during electron jump between orbits so a photon can't have an
oscillating electric and magnetic field.
2. It is impossible to have a sheaf of electromagnetic waves with
closed frequencies traveling into a certain direction; by contrary a
beam of photons can be formed by different photons energies.
3. An electromagnetic wave can't carry an angular momentum (in fact
no wave can do this), and a discriminatory experiment is proposed.
4. An electromagnetic wave can't produce birefringence, more
precisely, the separation of incident wave in other two perpendicular
waves after travelling in a medium. There are some papers were
birefringence of microwave is analyzed, but, a in this case
birefringence means change of phase.!!! By contrary photons beams are
producing birefringence and a discriminatory experiment is proposed.
5. Optical activity can discriminate further between electromagnetic
waves and photons. Electromagnetic waves are not rotating the plane of
polarization when travel through such substances and again a
discriminatory experiment is proposed here.
6. An electromagnetic wave can't carry a momentum, and by comparison a
photon can carry it.
7. A cooled body does not emit electromagnetic waves (radio or
microwave). Under a certain threshold where the IR emission stops, the
cooling is made by convection and contact.
8. Two electromagnetic waves with closed or equal frequencies
interfere without any problem of ,,coherence". Photons needs
this ,,artefact" in order to interfere.
9. Brewster angle, total internal reflection is notions without
meaning for a electromagnetic wave. For photons, a commons sense
description is provided.
Many experiments and some theoretical considerations, discussed in the
book, are posted at this link:

The book proposes new mechanisms for reflection, refraction and light
interference.
Electromagnetic waves decryptions (radio and microwaves) are in
working now and this subject will be treated in further books.
