Paths of Least Time for Quantum Scale and a New Geometrical Interpretation of Light Diffraction

Adda, Faycal Ben

Original · EN

In this paper, a geometrical interpretation of light diffraction is given using an infinity of fluctuating geodesics that represent paths of least time in an homogeneous space. Without using the wave theory, we provide a geometrical explanation of the deviation of light's overall direction from rectilinear when light encounters edges, apertures and screens, which reconciles light particle-like nature with the interference phenomena.
