A GREAT RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENT OF BANGLADESH UNIVERSITY
Dr. Md. Muhibbullah, Professor (Assot.) of the EEE department of Bangladesh University (BU), and his research group modified the electromagnetic wave theory in January 2017.
They have introduced an energy equation [1] and shown that the phase difference between the electric and magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave is 90 degrees [2]. It is a great achievement in the field of Applied Physics because the theory may create a revolution in the nature of light. He does research work in collaboration with renounced professors abroad.
During the last hundred years, the scientific community has been believing that light (photons) has dual nature (wave and particle). Professor (Assot.) Muhibbullah experimentally demonstrated that light is an electromagnetic wave only and not required to consider photons to explain the particle nature of light. Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect based on quanta (photon) theory. However, only two phenomena (instant ejection and frequency effect) of the photoelectric effect have been matched with Einstein’s explanation. In December 2018, Professor (Assot.) Muhibbullah and Professor Ikuma explained the photoelectric effect based on their modified electromagnetic wave theory. All (six) phenomena of the photoelectric effect have been
matched smoothly with the explanation of the modified electromagnetic wave concept [3]. Professor (Assot.) Muhibbullah thinks that by using their concept all other photonic behavior of light can be explained. They have applied their theory for several purposes [4-8]. Thus, a new Mechanics (named Modern Mechanics) might be introduced.
