Electromagnetic waves and photons
Abstract
We explore how the thermal ground states of two mixing and pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theories, SU(2)CMB of scale CMB 10-4\,eV and SU(2)e of scale e 5× 105\,eV, associate either wave or particle aspects to electromagnetic disturbances during thermalisation towards the photon gas of a blackbody, in realising the photoelectric effect, and through the frequency dependence of the monochromatic, nonthermal beam structure in Thomson/Compton scattering.
