Abstract
The classical and the quantum expressions of the energy of the electromagnetic radiation are compared. This comparison shows that, contrary to the commonly expected, the dependency of the energy [Formula: see text] of the photon with respect to the frequency [Formula: see text] on the Einstein–Planck relation [Formula: see text] is obtainable from classical electrodynamics, a fact that may provide a new historic perspective of the birth of quantum mechanics. It is suggested that the photon is a composite particle, constituted by quanta of electric and magnetic field fluxes maybe in an entangled state — being these two quanta either real or only as pseudo particles. It is also suggested a modification on the de Broglie’s fusion principle for the photon for the specific case in consideration.
