1. Introduction:
The interaction between photons and mirrors constitutes a fundamental aspect of our understanding of light and its behaviour. In this revised research paper, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of photon-mirror interactions, energy absorption, and the consequent time delay introduced by these interactions. Building upon established scientific knowledge and addressing inconsistencies from previous studies, we delve into the intricate details of these phenomena, aiming to provide a clearer understanding of the underlying principles.
Photon-mirror interactions involve the absorption of photons by electrons on a mirror's surface, leading to energy gain and subsequent movement of electrons to higher energy levels. This process, akin to photoelectric absorption, plays a central role in shaping the behaviour of light when interacting with mirrors. We investigate the optimization of mirror reflectivity by minimizing energy absorption, emphasizing the delicate balance between reflectivity and absorption loss.
Furthermore, we explore the angles of incidence and reflection, highlighting their equal values and the related sum of angles. By elucidating the symmetry in these angles, we aim to deepen our understanding of the predictable behaviour of reflected photons during photon-mirror interactions.
A pivotal aspect of our investigation is the relationship between energy absorption and time delay. Through meticulous analysis, we establish that the energy difference between incident and reflecting photons corresponds to a time delay between them. This intriguing relationship challenges conventional notions of light's constancy of motion, introducing the concept of infinitesimal time delay during reflection.
By revisiting and revising previous research, this paper seeks to provide a clearer and more coherent understanding of relativistic effects and photon-mirror interactions. Through our exploration of these phenomena, we aim to contribute to the broader body of knowledge in fundamental physics and illuminate the intricate interplay between light and matter.
In the subsequent sections, we delve into the equations, scientific foundations, and conclusions drawn from our comprehensive analysis, providing insights into the complex dynamics of photon-mirror interactions and their implications in our understanding of the universe.

3. Equations and Scientific Foundations:
I. Photon-Mirror Interaction and Energy Absorption:
• ΔE = γᵢ −γᵣ = hΔf
This equation describes the energy absorbed by the mirror during the interaction between incident (γᵢ) and reflecting (γᵣ) photons, commonly referred to as "Absorption loss." It captures the infinitesimal changes in energy, phase shifts, and time delays that occur during photon-surface interactions.
II. Angle of Incidence and Reflection:
• θᵢ = θᵣ
• θᵢ + θᵣ = 90°,
These equations define the relationship between the angles of incidence (θᵢ) and reflection (θᵣ) in photon-mirror interactions when the incident and reflected photons are related by a 45° angle relative to the normal. The first equation states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, while the second equation expresses their sum, reflecting their complementary nature.
III. Time Delay Equation:
• Δt = (1/Δf)/360
This equation relates the difference in frequencies of incident and reflecting photons to the time delay (Δt) between them. It demonstrates how even slight changes in the frequency of photons can lead to measurable temporal discrepancies, represented by the time delay.
IV. Relationship between Energy Difference and Time Delay:
• ΔE = hΔf
This equation establishes the connection between the energy absorbed by the mirror (ΔE) and the frequency change (Δf) of the incident and reflecting photons.
While this equation does not directly represent the time shift (Δt), it illustrates how absorption loss (ΔE) influences the frequency change (Δf) during photon-mirror interactions. The time shift (Δt) resulting from this frequency change can be calculated using the time delay equation (Δt = (1/Δf)/360), which relates the difference in frequencies of incident and reflecting photons to the time delay between them.
V. Photon Frequency Equations:
• f₁ = 702.4133 THz
• f₂ = 702.4119 THz
These equations represent the frequencies of incident (f₁) and reflecting (f₂) photons, respectively, within the dense, transparent medium. The difference between these frequencies (Δf) determines the frequency change due to absorption loss and influences the time delay between photons.
VI. Implications of Infinitesimal Changes:
Infinitesimal changes in photon energy, phase shifts, and time delays have significant implications for photon-surface interactions. These changes influence whether photons are reflected or absorbed by surfaces, affecting the overall behaviour of light in various mediums.
Processes Involved:
The processes involved in photon-surface interactions include absorption and subsequent emission of photons by electrons within a medium, as well as reflection and refraction experienced by incident and reflecting photons. These processes contribute to absorption loss, where photons lose energy during interactions with surfaces.
