Photon Spin, Zero-point Energy and Black-body radiation
S. C. Tiwari
Abstract
A critical review of the obscure nature of the contribution of spin energy to the energy of the electromagnetic field is presented. It is proposed that the total energy of photon hνcomprises of kinetic and spin parts each equal to hν/2. Classical magnetic field is reinterpreted as angular momentum flux of photon fluid. The black-body radiation law is revisited in the light of new significance of the zero-point energy proposed here.
