In 1923, Arthur Compton noted that J.J. Thomson's model of the electron did not account for the lower frequency (longer wavelength) associated with "electron scattering." To account for this, Compton imagined the photon as a billiard ball that passed through the atom and dislodged electrons from a force within the atom according to the Doppler principle. [1] Compton's theory accounts for the momentum of the photon itself, and explains the scattering of radiation in terms of corpuscular photons, but it does not explain how the photons always manage to miss the nucleus of the atom or fail to strike electrons from the outside toward the inside of the atom. His theory also fails to take into account the angular momentum of the incident photon.
Further, Compton's theory of a corpuscular incident photon assumes that the light is emitted as bullets that happen to be shot directly at the target. Also, this bullet would have to retain its full energy from the moment it left its source and transfer its full energy to the target atom. Quantum PhotonIn the Aether Physics Model the photon is quantified as a true quantum of angular momentum. It is equal to the angular momentum of the electron (Planck's constant) times the speed of light: Light is then quantified as the photon times frequency: TransmissionThe quantum Aether unit has two spin. That means there are four half-spin spin positions in the Aether unit. The photon has one spin. As seen in the image below, the photon fills two spin positions within the Aether unit. The 1 spin Aether unit looks like a snake in the above picture, but that is what it would look like moving through time. Since we are already moving with time, the only view of the photon we have is from the z axis. The photon looking down on the z axis appears as the following image: The photon expands in a cardioid shape. The function that produces this shape is the Compton function: AbsorptionAs an atom absorbs light, the angular momentum is stored in the positron spin position of the valence electron. The amount of angular momentum available from the light is determined by the distance between the emitting and absorbing atoms and the power available at absorption. The further the distance between the emitter and absorber means less power is available. Because the atom has only certain resonances in which it can absorb angular momentum, the amount of angular momentum being absorbed depends on the resonant frequency of the absorbing atom In the above case, the angular momentum is not quantum, but depends on the power level reaching the absorber atom and its resonant frequency. EmissionAs the valence electron fills the positron spin position with angular momentum, it eventually attains the mass of two electrons and has a net zero electrostatic charge. Having a net zero charge, the nucleus of the atom no longer pulls the combined electron-positron onn and it explodes outward toward the next Aether unit. Depending on the amount of power reaching the atom, the double-sized onn either splits into a separate electron and positron (pair production) or splits into two photons. One photon emits outward according to the geometry of the Compton function above and the other is reabsorbed to the valence position and all the angular momentum moves to the electron spin position.
