Abstract

The photon emission process is described in detail, leading to formulas for Planck’s constant and the photoelectric effect. In the latter case, the derived formula is similar to Einstein’s equation, except it has a needed extra term. As photons are shown to be atomic sized, single electric field particles shaped as extremely thin washers moving at the local velocity of light in a direction orthogonal to the washer surface, neither wavelength nor frequency are variables. Moreover, it is seen that not all radiation consists of photons. Radio waves, for example, are not photons.
