从质量极化子解到Abraham-Minkowski争论的质心速度

Center of mass velocity from Mass Polariton solution to Abraham-Minkowski controversy

Jim McClymer

摘要:

亚伯拉罕-闵可夫斯基争论(Abraham-Minkowski controversy)是一个有着百年历史的争论,它涉及到两种截然不同的关于玻璃中光的动量的预测。在Abraham情况下,光子动量与折射率成反比,而Minkowski公式预测的光子动量与折射率成正比。尽管有重大的理论和实验努力,但这两种提法都不能令人信服地证明是正确的。一个新的模型,称为质量极化子模型,MP,最近推出,解决了亚伯拉罕和闵可夫斯基公式和实验结果的矛盾。MP模型和闵可夫斯基模型都预测了光子从真空进入玻璃时的动量变化相同,但闵可夫斯基模型允许违反质心定理。本文表明,MP模型,尽管预测相同的动量变化的闵可夫斯基模型,遵守质心定理。

英文摘要:

A one-hundred-year old controversy, the Abraham-Minkowski controversy, concerns two widely disparate predictions for the momentum of light in glass. In the Abraham case the photon momentum is inversely proportional to the index of refraction while the photon momentum predicted by Minkowski formulation is proportional to the index of refraction. In spite of significant theoretical and experimental effort neither formulation could convincingly be shown to be correct. A new model, called the Mass Polariton model, MP, was recently introduced that resolves the contradictions in the Abraham and Minkowski formulations and experimental results. Both the MP and Minkowski model predict the same momentum change for a photon entering glass from a vacuum, yet the Minkowski model allows violation of the center of mass theorem. This paper shows that the MP model, in spite of predicting the same momentum change as the Minkowski model, obeys the center of mass theorem.
