Abstract:

This text proposes first of all a new picture of the well known equation: wavelength x frequency = speed. In this outlook, wavelength is equivalent to magnetism, frequency is equivalent to electricity and speed is the speed of the outgoing wave. This is true for both electromagnetic waves as well as matter. Magnetism or wavelength is the primary focus of this text. In addition, a deeper analysis of Planck and de Broglie's respective radiation and matter equations are given. It is found that the inherent difference between matter and radiation may be the squaring of frequency. Note also the image in the text, provided to aid in the understanding of a somewhat new outlook of electromagnetism. The probable consequences of this model are discussed.

Introduction

This work proposes that magnetism is related to the wavelength of a piece of matter. Specifically, in other works electricity is proposed to be determined by the frequency of a piece of matter, whereas in this work it is the wavelength of the matter in question that determines its inherent magnetic properties. These are related by the commonly known equation: Frequency x Wavelength = Wave Speed. In electromagnetic energy, the same equation still applies.

It is found through mathematical manipulation somewhat later in the text that the essential difference between matter and radiation is the squaring of frequency that takes place in matter.

Frequency Times Wavelength Equals Wave Speed

In the commonly known equation F x W = S, why must this equation hold? While this might seem a rather silly question to ask at first glance, but let us take a somewhat deeper look at this very simple equation. In the previous "electricity" text at the link above (as well as below), electricity is pictured as the changes in the frequencies of pieces of matter.

For example, in the common electric battery, placing two metals into very close contact with each other often begins a transfer of electrons (or equivalently electron waves) from one metal to another. Electrons in this picture are viewed as the "quanta of frequency" of an electrical exchange. Charge is simply the amount of this imbalance and this quantity exists in packets i.e., it is, therefore, quantized. Again, see the "electricity" text for more about this at the link either the above or below.

In magnetism, on the other hand, it is not frequency but the wavelength that may be the essential factor. Why? Because, from the author's symmetrical perspective, the simple equation F x W = S indicates that this must be the case. For example, if the speed is equal to c, in the case of a wave (or photon) of light, then F x W is then equal to c.

Hence, if differences in frequency is viewed as the cause of electric forces, then magnetism must indeed be related to wavelength. It was Maxwell who first discovered that light was in essence an electromagnetic effect. By taking a (Louis de Broglie) "wave" viewpoint of these matters, one can deduce a somewhat deeper meaning of F x W = S.

Therefore, this equation not only grants a description of wave speed in relation to frequency and wavelength, but also a description of electricity and magnetism in relationship to wave speed! If we are speaking about an electromagnetic radiation effect, then the wave speed is c, but if the wave is a piece of matter, then it is the energy state of the matter itself that determines the wave speed. The energy state can often vary depending on a number of factors.

So, in the previous "electricity" text, electrical effects are simply changes in frequency, due to the quantum wavelike lumps we call electrons. Where, then, are the quantum magnetic particles, what about them? Since wavelength is simply the distance between the wave fronts in any wave, when the frequency of matter rises (and speed is held as a constant), then the wavelength shortens.

Magnetism, thus, may be simply due to the wavelength of the matter in question. So, there may not be any magnetic monopoles or any carrier-type exchange particles as in the case of electricity. Electricity and magnetism may be distinctly different phenomena. Hence, if two magnets, or pieces of matter with vastly different wavelengths do happen come into contact with each other, what are the exchange particles that will correct this imbalance?

In actual fact, it is also electrons, that will perform this important function. This is another reason that electric forces and magnetic forces must without a doubt be connected. Maxwell recognized this as well, although for vastly different reasons.

What Mechanism Generates Magnetism?

While in the case of electricity, electrical effects take place when there is a significant difference between the frequencies of two pieces of matter. In magnetism, the difference may lie between the wavelength of a piece of matter and that of the background radiation. Where a piece of matter is in a resonance state with the background radiation, a magnetic field can be generated. So, magnetism actually has to do as much with the wavelengths being in the proper phase with the radiation background as it does with the wavelengths of the matter itself.

As one might expect, heating (or in some cases cooling) can alter the wavelengths (and energy state) of a piece of matter into a better (or worse in some cases) focus with the background, which can either generate or destroy the magnetic effect. This is because heating may alter the wave speed, the energy state in the equation above. Hence, by changing the energy state and wave speed of a piece of matter, the wavelength may also be altered, tending to refocus the matter out of phase with the background.

When the radiation background and a piece of matter are in a resonance state (and in a precise focus), a magnetic field may be the result. The magnetic field, similar to the electric field may be a field of energetic photons traveling both forward and backward in time, creating the particular effects that take place within the field. Both the electric and magnetic fields operate at different frequencies (as explained below), hence, they can both exist side by side and without interference.

In common magnets, the resonance with the background generates the photon exchange both forward and backward in time within the field. At the North end of the magnet, a forward in time photon may be brought into action, while at the South end a backward in time photon (a photon hole or in a different way of looking at it, a neutrino) may be emitted or vice versa.

This results essentially in a circulation surrounding the magnet and this may be consistent with the equation: A Forward In Time Photon + A Backward In Time Photon = 0. This may be similar to one of Maxwell's famous equations describing the net magnetic flux out of an enclosed volume surrounding any magnet always being equal to zero. In the author's view, although viewed from a somewhat different angle, these are both in essence equivalent statements.

It is notable that the wavelengths responsible for magnetism appear to operate on an atom by atom basis. That is, every atom has a unique wavelength of its own and in permanent magnets these wavelengths will collectively be equal to the whole. So, in essence, an atom's wavelength is identical to a huge collection of these same magnetic atoms. This is the fundamental reason why a permanent magnet can be torn apart many times and even to the scale of atoms, yet each atom is similarly magnetic having its own North and South pole.

Moreover, because every atom has its own resonance and alignment with the background energy, hitting a magnet with a hammer can often disrupt and weaken the magnetic effect. The impact may often change the energy state of the magnet, adding random energy oscillations to each atom. Wave alignment and resonance may then weaken at this point.

Electromagnetism

This outlook might lead to the following statement about radiant electromagnetic energy:

The Change In Frequency Of Two Matter Waves (Or Electrical Charge) x A Precise Wavelength And Phase Resonance With The Background = The Speed Of Light (C)

While electricity may be a difference in the frequencies of two matter waves, magnetism may result (as stated above) from a resonance (and a precise matching) of the wavelengths of a piece of matter with that of the background zero-point photonic energy. So, from the wave viewpoint, the differences between electricity and magnetism may be stated in this way.

One may also extend these ideas to this image of the electromagnetic spectrum:

(The Above Image Was Produced April 1st, 2002)

While energy and frequency do rise together (to the right above), it is seen also that the wavelength rises at the radio or lower energies end of the spectrum (toward the left side of the image above). Gamma Rays, thus, have more well defined photons than do radio waves and gamma rays have a greater tendency toward the electrical aspects of the wave.

In the author's view (as stated above), what matters most in magnetism essentially is a match, a resonance with the background radiation. Thus, the photons at the radio end of the spectrum should overall have a greater magnetic effect. Hence, this model proposes that a magnetic matching and a resonance's occurs mostly at the radio end of the spectrum. It, therefore, is the radio wavelengths in the background that have most to do with magnetism. This becomes a consequence of this electromagnetic model as it applies to radiation.

Some Insights Concerning Planck And de Broglie's Work

It can be understood from above that in Planck's famous formula E = hf or the energy of light is equal to the frequency x Planck's constant, that radiant photonic electromagnetic energy are largely creations of the electric aspects of the electromagnetic wave i.e., frequency is electric! From above, this is because in Planck's formula, the frequency of photons may essentially be the electrical aspects of the wave. Hence, what we call photons are created in essence by electricity or electrical currents!

While this is true in Planck's work for massless electromagnetic phenomena, in the de Broglie picture of "matter waves", electricity may be an even bigger feature. Therefore, in the de Broglie equation where: Momentum (P--or Mass x Velocity) = Wavelength / Planck's constant, the wavelength may be the magnetic component of a piece of matter. So, in the de Broglie relation: P = W / h, "W" may be the magnetic component of matter and this might be what gives the equation its validity.

Thusly, in the case of Momentum, we can combine three well known equations to yield the mass in terms of frequency, because matter has the greatest amount of electricity and electrical currents. Matter, therefore, has the most frequency associated with it. In fact, we find that matter requires that matter be the square of frequency. So, we take these three famous equations to derive this result:

1) W x f = Wave Speed or V ---the common wave equation

2) E = hf ---the Planck equation

3) P (mass x velocity) = W / h ---the de Broglie equation

A) Through algebraic manipulation in # 1 we derive: W = V / f

B) By substituting in W into # 3, we see that: P = V / f / h, or: P = f / Vh

C) By the manipulation of # 2 above, we see that h = E / f

D) So, by substitution of statement C into B, we derive: P = f / VE / f, or P = f^2 / VE

E) Through the squaring of velocity across the equation, given that the momentum P is viewed as mass x velocity we see that: M x V = f^2 / VE, then the mass (M) is equal to: f^2 / V^2 x E

So, the mass of a body may be equal to the frequency of the piece of matter squared (its electrical potential^2) divided by its energy times its velocity squared. Through further algebraic manipulation, the Energy of a piece of matter with electricity as an important subcomponent is equal to the Frequency^2 / Mass x Velocity^2.

We also see that E = mv^2 can be seen to be equal to the frequency^2, when mv^2 is isolated on the left side of the equation. This is consistent with the author's other work on matter waves. However, what may be a relatively new finding is that in the case of matter, one must square the frequency of a piece of matter in order to obtain its electrical energy state. Hence, matter might arise out of photons when the frequency becomes squared. [(Added March, 2006): It might become neutrinos, what it was recently discovered to be the components of mass]

So, with photons of light, the energy is simply E = hf, where the frequency is not squared, but with a matter wave the frequency must indeed be squared. Therefore, light does not square frequency, whereas matter does. This may be a key distinction between matter and light waves!

In support of the author's reasoning, E =mv^2 has long been understood to be a universal component for energy exchange. For example, when a car skids to a halt, it is the velocity^2 x its mass that yields the total kinetic energy. In addition, a spherical weight dropped into clay sinks to a depth in the clay as the square of its velocity--twice as fast equates to four times as deep; three times as fast measures nine times as deep and so on. This was discovered by the Dutch researcher Willem 'sGravesande. (Bodanis, 2000).

Conclusion

The probable predictions for this model are as follows:

1) Frequency x Wavelength = Speed can be thought of as related to Electricity x Magnetism = Wave Speed. See the "Wave-Electricity" text also for a further description at the link below.

2) Matter is electricity (or frequency) squared, whereas with light waves the frequency may not be squared. This may be a key distinction here. This is consistent also with the "Wave-Reality" text where matter essentially is high energy light waves and placed upon the same spectrum as is light. This text can be viewed at the link below.

3) Derived from the above image, the more higher energy photon-like radiation is the more electrically-based, whereas the lower energy wavelike radiation is the more magnetically-based. Hence, radio waves are in essence more magnetic and gamma rays are fundamentally more electrical. Visible light appears to strike a balance between the two.
