Default Properties of light.

A fundamental fact is that light behaves in a similar manner regardless of what substance the bright object is made up of and from which source the light is emitted from. Sun light, LED light, incandescent, fluorescent, and even candle light can generate electric voltage through solar “cells”. The ongoing debate concerning light propagating through the media is that of a continuous wave, photons, or photon particles. I think a simple experiment could eliminate what properties light doesn’t have; hence explaining the basic properties of light. An incandescent light source, because it’s a mechanical system in which a thin tungsten wire is heated by an electric current into the light emitting temperature. Therefore, the wire is measured for its mass and for any lost mass during the long period of use. This test is based on the fact of which photon mass particles are emitted; there must be a loss of mass, which would confirm the mass as a property of the light. In my test, I use an incandescent lamp that was in extensive use for three years. I found no change in wire thickness from original size to a used sector of the wire filament. Hence, no mass was released during light wave emission, confirming the fact that light waves are a massless phenomenon. About the photons of light; it’s unlikely that the properties of candle light include a mechanism that makes a pulsating or rhythmical action as photons are emitted. So what is the reason for photons to exist instead of one of the intrinsic motion properties? Linear motion, wave motion, or rotation motion, are involved in all matter-related events. Because all light sources, including candle light, when observed through a condenser lens and triangular prism (a simple spectroscope) produce different wave lengths of rainbow colors. It’s logical that observed rainbow colors are the result of waves for each color instead of one wave, which includes wave properties for each observed color. In conclusion, the matter in high-temperature action emits heat waves and light waves for the entire observable spectrum of light.

The filament itself gains some mass due to oxidation, and loses some mass because the tungsten gets plated on the inside of the glass envelope.

Note, the filament does not produce the energy that lights it, a power plant (or battery) does. The energy (and therefore relativistic mass" must come from the power plant, and not the filament.

Photons have no mass. Their mass is less than 18 orders of magnitude less than their energy, inclusive of zero. If they had mass proportional to their energy, gravitational lensing would spread out the spectrum. It does not.
