摘要

In this paper, a new concept of light is proposed so that two important unsolved problems of light, viz., invariance of speed of light with respect to motion of source/observer and wave-particle duality, are solved. Although the invariance of speed of light is an experimentally verified fact and is incorporated into the second postulate of a special theory of relativity, it is not compatible with our common experience about matter in motion. However, in this new concept, the invariance of speed of light comes as a natural consequence without violating our common sense. Another advantage of this approach is that it solves the problem of wave-particle duality of light by offering a single picture that explains both the results showing particlelike and wavelike behaviors.
