Physics of photons. III

Wave equations are proposed for the photon which take the feasibility of a photon rest mass into account. It is shown that massless photons are asymmetrical in spin; massive photons which have mirror symmetry and exhibit the speed of light in a vacuum can be localized in either region. The solution is presented for the problem of the behavior of photons in a central field and the energy of coupled states is found.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 14–18, June, 1990.
