Photon models nonzero rest mass

Features of Present Individual Photon Model A. The Nonzero Rest Mass... [Pg.2]

With a nonzero rest mass one would at a first glance expect a photon gas to have three degrees of freedom two transverse and one longitudinal. This would alter Planck s radiation law by a factor of, in contradiction with experience [20]. A detailed analysis based on the Proca equation shows, however, that the B3 spin field cannot be involved in a process of light absorbtion [5]. This is also made plausible by the present model of Sections VII and VIII, where the spin field is carried away by the pilot field. As a result, Planck s law is recovered in all practical cases [20]. In this connection it has also to be observed that transverse photons cannot penetrate the walls of a cavity, whereas this is the case for longitudinal photons which would then not contribute to the thermal equilibrium [43]. [Pg.49]
