Abstract
In this short note we mathematically prove that if we assume that the speed of light is constant, then light propagates as a wave. Introduction: In another paper, What is the Matter With De Broglie Waves? we derived the De Broglie equations for 'wavelength' λ and 'frequency' ν using the 'prime physis' quantity η and the definitions of energy, E t η ∂ = ∂ and momentum x p x η ∂ = ∂ in terms of η . We showed that,
