Comparison of the Phenomena of Light Refraction and Gravitational Bending

Robert J. Buenker

The properties of light in the presence of electromagnetic and gravitational fields are compared. Once one takes account of the fact that clock rates vary with distance from a mass…

Quantum Mechanical Relations for the Energy, Momentum and Velocity of Single Photons in Dispersive Media

Robert J. Buenker, Pedro L. Muino

Attempts to explain the refraction of light in dispersive media in terms of a photon or "corpuscular" model have heretofore been unable to account for the observed decrease in the…

The Lorentz Transformation for Photons in Dispersive Media and in Gravitational Fields

Robert J. Buenker

It is pointed out that the traditional explanation for the observation of a non-zero energy h nu for light in free space does not apply for the analogous situation in dispersive me…

Exponentially Damped Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian for the Description of Positronium Decay and Other High-energy Processes

Robert J. Buenker

The conventional explanation for the 1.022 MeV decay of positronium in terms of the annihilation of an electron and its antiparticle is questioned because of the impossibility of p…

Use of time-correlated single photon counting detection to measure the speed of light in water

Pedro L. Muino, Aaron M. Thompson, Robert J. Buenker

Traditional methods for measuring the speed of light in dispersive media have been based on the detection of interference between light waves emitted from the same source. In the p…

Evidence from the Special Relativity and Blackbody Radiation Theories for the Existence of Photons Possessing Zero Kinetic Energy

Robert J. Buenker

The traditional interpretation of radiative emission and absorption asserts that photons are created and annihilated in such processes. A Gedanken experiment is considered in which…
