Where can I find the knowledge on photons?

Here's a pretty good overview:

Father of photon wrote:
"Had there not seemed to be insuperable objections, one might have been
tempted to adopt the hypothesis that we are dealing here with a new type of
atom, an identifiable entity, uncreatable and indestructible, which acts as
the carrier of radiant energy and, after absorption, persists as an
essential constituent of the absorbing atom until it is later sent out again
bearing a new amount of energy. If I now advance this hypothesis of a new
kind of atom, I do not claim that it can yet be proved, but only that a
consideration of the several objections that might be adduced shows that
there is not one of them that can not be overcome."

Is it proved?


For information on EM radiation, superposition, and interference, I would
recommend:

"Optics", 4th edition, by Eugene Hecht, available from www.abebooks.com

"8 Polarization 319"

Could you look at this?

Is in Hecht's the polarised light as the transverse wave (Fresnel,
Heaviside) or,

The longitudinal waves transmitted from the two sources (dipole) (Faraday,
Lorenz, Tesla).
