Download Article Abstract The particle-based concept of light presents itself as a physical process in the reality-oriented framework. In contrast, the conventional wave description of light particularly in the absence of a tangible propagation medium raises fundamental conceptual concerns and…
Download Article Abstract Diffraction and interference are traditionally assumed to have been caused due to the wave nature of light. Within the framework of modern physics, these phenomena are explained using electromagnetic wave theory and the principle of wave superposition.…
Download Article Abstract The phenomenon of grazing incidence of light is conventionally explained within the framework of electromagnetic wave theory, where boundary conditions naturally lead to wave alignment along an interface at shallow angles. However, the wave description raises fundamental…
