Electrodynamic Excitation of Electrons Under Temporal Variation of Magnetic Flux

Abstract: Currently, the energy of a photon is considered to be an experimental fact which does not have any formal mathematical derivation and for over 100 years, we have been told that Maxwell's electromagnetism cannot explain how light energises electrons. The focus of the talk would be on looking at the role of Maxwell's equations in defining light matter interaction at optical frequencies. The temporal variation of magnetic flux of electromagnetic radiation offers a pathway towards derivation of the energy of a photon. The theoretical framework offers a novel perspective on looking at the missing link between classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanical concept of a photon.
