Abstract

A detailed kinematic analysis was conducted based on the hypothesis of the photon as an electric dipole in combined motions, a rotation and a linear uniform motion perpendicular to its rotational axis. A particle wave coefficient(j) of a rotational object in combined motions is defined based on the analysis of the motion quantities, translational momentum and rotational angular momentum. The motion analysis explains the intrinsic nature of particle-wave duality, the relation among momentum, angular momentum and its wavelength when the rotational particle in combined motions. For the photon, j equals Planck constant (h), hv is the sum of its translational kinetic energy and rotational energy. The derivation processes of the wave equation of the photon, both the first order derivative method and the second order derivative method, demonstrate that the Dirac Equation is applicable to describe the motions of the photon as the dipole. The four wave components of the photon interpret why the negative energy solutions exist to the Dirac equation, which reveals the disk structure of dimetric spinvectors of the electron.
