This paper will analyze the wave theory of light.

.

1. Introduction.

.

The wave theory of light is based on light waves formed by the motion of an optical ether, composed of matter, yet light propagates in vacuum that is void of matter which contradicts the wave theory of light. Michelson tests for Fresnel's optical ether, composed of matter, but the result was negative. Lorentz reverses the negative result of Michelson's experiment to justify the ether but light propagating in vacuum is definitive and irreversible experimental proof the optical ether, composed of matter, does not exist. Maxwell EM theory is introduced since induction forms in vacuum but Faraday's induction effect is not luminous. Poynting supports Maxwell's theory by deriving an EM energy equation of light but Poynting's current wire is also not luminous. Hertz structurally unites light with induction but Hertz's spark gap emits electrons. The production of light is always accompanied by the emission of electrons yet induction is not an ionization effect which contradicts Maxwell's induction analogy.

2. Maxwell

.

.

In Maxwell's paper, "Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (1864), Maxwell's describes an electromagnetic theory of light based on Faraday induction effect.

"If, therefore, the phenomena described by Faraday in the Ninth Series of his Experimental Researches were the only known facts about electric currents, the laws of Ampere relating to the attraction of conductors carrying currents as well as those of Faraday about the mutual induction of currents, might be deduced by mechanical reasoning." (Maxwell, part II).

.

"ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY OF LIGHT" (Maxwell, Part VI).

.

Maxwell's theory is based on Faraday's induction effect that is not luminous. Hertz's attempts to structurally unite light with induction but Hertz's spark gap emits electrons. Planck uses the blackbody radiation effect to support Maxwell's theory but the blackbody also emits electrons yet induction is not an ionization effect. Furthermore, Maxwell's external electric field conflicts with Faraday's induction effect that only represents an external magnetic field.

3. Conclusion

.

.

The production of light is always accompanied by the emission of electrons yet Faraday's induction effect is not an ionization effect which contradicts Maxwell's EM theory of light. Einstein transforms Maxwell's equations to justify Maxwell's theory (Einstein, § 6) but altering the coordinate system of Maxwell's equations does not change the fact Maxwell's theory is based on Faraday's induction effect that is not luminous which is experimental proof Maxwell's electromagnetic field cannot be used to represent Einstein's electromagnetic ether (Einstein*, § 1).
