Description
This paper presents an alternative interpretation of photon energy differences within the framework of Saleh Theory and proposes a thermal approach for spectral detection. Unlike the conventional view that relates photon energy directly to frequency through Planck’s equation, this work focuses on a physical explanation based on differences in photon trajectories.
The theory assumes that photons move with constant mass and constant speed, while photons of different frequencies follow wave-like paths of different effective lengths. Using an analogy of objects moving at equal speeds along paths of unequal lengths, it is proposed that shorter paths allow more photons to reach a destination within a fixed time interval, resulting in greater transferred energy, whereas longer paths reduce photon arrival rates and energy transfer.
A normalized parameter (n) is introduced using the green spectrum as a reference. Based on the thermal effects associated with energy transfer, this study further suggests the possibility of developing thermal telescopes capable of distinguishing light spectra through temperature-sensitive measurement.
