Interference caused by electromagnetic interactions

A. A. Kolokolov


Abstract: We consider interference fluxes of energy, momentum and angular momentum, describing the interaction of electric charges with constant and variable electromagnetic fields. Absorption and stimulated emission of atoms in the field of free and evanescent waves are described. It is shown that in the case of interaction with reactive fields, the momentum of an atom during absorption and stimulated emission does not change. A wave derivation of Planck's formula based on the interference of the fields of classical thermal radiation and quantum zero-point oscillations is presented.

Keywords: electromagnetic field, interference, absorption and stimulated emission of atoms, thermal radiation.
