Polarization of light and the spin state of photon

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The comparison of the polarization and spin of light is presented in the paper. It is shown that it is more easier and clearer to use the polarization of the light to explain the effect of the interaction of light and atoms than that of spin of the light. The paper also gives rise to the question whether or not the concept of spin for photon have any essence for its existence.
