Abstract

Introduction: The work relates to the basics of quantum physics, photonics and optics, in particular – to photons in their two states: as elementary particles and their electromagnetic radiation. The study of these problems is necessary for a better understanding of the basics of the structure of the material world and the general development of scientific knowledge about the Universe, which is an urgent and important task, to which the works of many scientists of the world throughout the recorded history of mankind. However, all the problems of determining the parameters of photons have not been fully resolved. Especially for the mass of photons, since its absence is a unique phenomenon in the Universe and no other free physical particle has such properties. This contradiction to the general rules of the existence of known physical particles in the material world, as electromagnetic field waves and as matter particles, requires its thorough justification, which is the main goal of the work being performed. Its scientific novelty is the justification of the existence of the mass of photons and the development of an experiment for its detection. The research is based on the parameters of the light range of 380...760 nm, for which the speed of movement is strictly known, equal to the speed of light c, but the energy indicators are not infinite, which contradicts the Lorentz γ-factor.

New Results of The Work: More than 20 experiments are known that show the presence of photon mass based on its secondary features. In this case, the 1st experiment is the curvature of light rays revealed in the solar eclipse of 1919, since the error in calculating the deviations of the rays based on Newton's law of universal gravitation was corrected for them. In addition, the errors of the relativistic mass and energy of photons based on the tendency to 0 of the Lorentz γ-factor were corrected, since there are no 0 quantities in the real material world. With in the framework of the laws of dialectics, 0 is the absence of everything, including matter, which contradicts the laws of conservation of energy and mass. It follows from this that all zero values are overcome by a quantum leap and these final values for length, time, energy and mass were found. On this basis, the photon mass is strictly substantiated and an experiment for its determination is proposed.

Conclusions: Strict substantiations for the presence of the photon mass have been found, which do not contradict the known real laws of physics. All laboratories and researchers with such capabilities are invited to conduct an experiment to identify it.
