I take it you are saying photons have classical spin?
of course they do.
So I have a torch, globe or led makes no difference. So explain to me when the photons spin in the beam that shines out the front relates to the torch.
when the photon leaves the light source.
To extend the problem I have a laser pointer emitting a laser beam describe the photons in the beam spin for me please.
the photons in the beam have inherited the motion of the
light source ( the laser ) as they were emitted.
and they will continue to have that inherited spin until
some outside influence acts against the spin like the
influence from a magnetic field or a gravity field
that causes its spin to change.
if you don't believe that a photon inherits the spin of
the light source then perhaps you should explain why it
would not.
lets put a laser pointer in a drill press and turn the
laser pointer on , then turn the drill press on at its highest
speed... for example lets say the drill press is rotating
the laser pointer at 10,000 rpm.
do you seriously believe that the light being emitted
from the laser pointer will not inherit the spin of the
laser.
if so please tell me why the emitted photons would not be spinning at the same rpm as the laser pointer.
