Abstract:
By modeling both the atom and the photon as capacitors, the correct energy levels are easily produced via extrapolation from Maxwell’s, Gauss’, Coulomb’s and Ohm’s laws – without the need to inject Planck’s constant into the equation ad-hoc. In the case of the photon, Einstein’s photoelectric equation is formulated as a result, with Planck’s constant consequently occurring as an aggregate of fundamental constants. Analysis of these equations lends credence to Planck’s fervent and controversial personal dogma that the constant which he himself had discovered is nothing but “a mathematical trick[1]”. Further analysis shows that this model reconciles the wave-particle duality; wherein the wave properties of light and matter produce the particle-like aspects as a result of the laws of electrical engineering in conjunction with the uncertainty principle and Schrödinger’s wave equations.
