A "single photon" can never bounce between two mirrors for the reasons mentioned below. A hypothetical 'light clock' is not demonstrable so such an undetectable clock is not accepted in physical science, because physical science is physical. Finally, the photon will be known as the bouncing event, and we know from the paper entitled, "Relativistic effects on phaseshift in frequencies invalidate time dilation II" that the event invokes time. Therefore, the so-called, light clock is not time itself, only events can invoke time. Events and time are completely different things.
A photon exhibits an event of propagation wave. As every event has a consequence; so an incident photon will also have a similar consequence. A photon is subject to relativistic effects expending energy as it leaves the source of a gravitational well.
When a photon hits the mirror, the photon's energy is absorbed by an electron in the metal on the surface of the metallic backing mirror. As the incoming photon interacts with the free electrons of the metal and is absorbed. The electron then uses this extra energy to jump from a lower energy level to a higher one, moving further away from the atom's nucleus. A photon carries momentum, so each photon hitting the mirror causes an electron in the metal atom to absorb the original photon and emit a new photon with a different momentum, known as scattering. As the free electrons oscillate, a new photon is emitted and exits the mirror. So the photon is reflected and loses energy.
The lost photon energy: And we know from the paper entitled, "Relativistic effects on phaseshift in frequencies invalidate time dilation II" that, Relative time emerges from relative frequencies. It is the phase shift in relative frequencies due to infinitesimal loss in wave energy and corresponding enlargement in the wavelengths of oscillations; which occur in any clock between relative locations due to the relativistic effects or difference in gravitational potential; result error in the reading of clock time; which is wrongly presented as time dilation.
So called, a "Light clock" is not invariant, as relativistic effects affects photons.
Scientific interpretation of the above article:
Photon Interaction: When a photon collides with an atom on a mirror's surface, it can be absorbed by an electron, causing the electron to gain energy (hf) and move to a higher energy level. This process is similar to photoelectric absorption.
Mirror's Reflectivity: Mirrors are designed to optimize reflectivity by minimizing absorption (ΔE) to maintain high reflectivity. The reflected photon has energy hf−ΔE, where ΔE represents the energy lost within the mirror.
Angle of Incidence and Reflection: The angle of incidence (Θi) is equal to the angle of reflection (Θr). This relationship is also expressed in terms of angles in degrees (θi and θr), where θi+θr=180°.
Photon Energy Absorption: The difference in energy between the incident photon (γi) and the reflecting photon (γr) is ΔE, representing energy absorbed by the mirror. This energy difference is also equal to the time delay (Δt) between the incident and reflecting photons.
Infinite Time Delay: When a photon is reflected by a mirror, there is an infinite time delay (Δt) between the colliding photon (γi) and the diffusing photon (γr) to change the direction of travel. This phenomenon contributes to a time distortion in the behavior of light.
When a photon (hf) interacts with an atom on a mirror's surface, it can indeed be absorbed by an electron in the atom. This interaction results in the electron gaining energy (hf) from the absorbed photon. This increase in energy can cause the electron to move to a higher energy level within the atom, farther away from the nucleus. photoelectric absorption takes palce. Mirrors are made to minimize absorption (ΔE) in order to maintain high reflectivity. optimize reflectivity (hf- ΔE) and minimize light absorption (ΔE). The reflected photon will have energy (hf- ΔE). The reflected photon will have an energy of (hf−ΔE).
The angle of incidence (Θi) is equal to the angle of reflection (Θr). Since, the angle of incidence (θi) is equal to the angle of reflection (θr), θi = θr; and, the sum of the angles of incidence (θi) and reflection (θr) always equals 180°, θi + θr = 180°. Therefore, if the angle of incidence (Θi) = 180°, so the, angle of reflection (Θr) = 180°.
The reflected photon having energy (hf- ΔE) travels in the opposite direction of the interacting photon with energy (hf), the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the direction of the reflected photon is related to the direction of the incident photon but is not necessarily opposite to it.
In summary, incident photon energy (γi) = hf; reflecting photon energy (γr) = (hf−ΔE); photon energy absorption (γi - γr) = (ΔE);
So, when a photon of light at the speed of light strikes or collides with a mirror wall, initially, the photon is absorbed by electrons in the mirror's surface atoms. In effect, the collision causes another photon to detach from an electron in an atom on the mirror surface, and the detached photon travels at the speed of light but in the opposite direction to the colliding photon. As a result, some of the energy of the colliding photons is lost in the collision with the mirror surface.
The reflected photon having energy (hf- ΔE) travels in the opposite direction of the interacting photon with energy (hf), at an 180° angle, when the angle of incidence was 180°.
In summary, when a photon collides with a mirror surface, it is initially absorbed by electrons in the mirror's surface atoms. The collision causes another photon to detach from an electron in an atom on the mirror surface. The detached photon travels at the speed of light but in the opposite direction to the colliding photon. Some energy of the colliding photons is lost in the collision with the mirror surface.
The energy of the incident photon is hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon. The energy of the reflecting photon is hf−ΔE, where ΔE represents energy loss due to interactions within the mirror. The difference in energy between the incident and reflecting photons is ΔE. This difference represents the energy absorbed by the mirror and not reflected.
The photon energy absorption = (γi - γr), the difference in energy between the incident and reflecting photons = ΔE.
Assuming, the incident photon frequency = f1; when, the incident photon energy = (γi); and, the reflecting photon frequency = f2; when, the reflecting photon energy = (γr); The change in energy between incident photon and reflecting photon = ΔE;
Given Equations:γi−γr = ΔE (Infinitesimal loss in wave energy)f1 = incident photon frequencyf2 = reflecting photon frequencyT(deg) = T/360 = (1/f)/360 = Δtf = E/h = 1/360*T(deg)T(deg) = 1/f*360 = ΔtSo, the relationships are -ΔE =γi−γrΔt=f1−f2Thereofre,ΔE = Δt.
Since, ΔE = Δt;
The change in energy (ΔE) is equal to the time delay (Δt) between the incident photon and the reflecting photon . This suggests a relationship between the energy difference of the incident and reflecting photons and the difference in frequencies (f1 and f2) of those photons.
Therefore when, there is an infinite time delay (Δt) between the colliding photon (γi) and the diffusing photon (γr) to change direction of travel. Therefore, the constancy of motion of a photon of light is broken when it is reflected by a mirror.
