The Momentum of Photon May Explain the Measurements Paradox in the Subatomic World
As we know particles of the subatomic world,that is quantum objects(QOs),do not have defined properties until we observe them making a Measurement(M).Before the M the QO is delocalized,it is potentially detectable in one of the points of its wave volume.We can just presume approximately their structure and behaviour,but we have not certitude.According to Quantum Mechanics before the M it is not possible to tell if it is a particle or a wave.In order to make a M of a QO,we need to illuminate it,however,as we learn from Quantum Mechanics,we change,against our will,the subatomic system we are trying to measure.As Feynman reminds us,to observe electrons,we need a light because the light rebounding on electrons make them visible,but the light affects electron behaviour.When light is sent on an electron,it makes the electron vibrate thus behaving in a different manner.Therefore,the photons(Ps)are indispensable to carry out a M.As we know also the P has a its own momentum(p),according to the formula: p = h/λ,where h is Plancks constant and λ is the wavelength of the considered P.In the case of a medium visible P its p is: p = 6.625·10-27 erg·s=5·10-5 cm,that is: p = 1.325·10-22 g·cm/s Our calculations show that a P of the optic band hits an electron with a momentum,a dynamic-mass,bigger than the mass of the electron itself.This may explain why the M induces the well-known changes on the observed QO and may contribute to solve the enigma of the Ms Paradox.
