Abstract
Previous articles argue that the photon is a weak shock N-wave in the kinetic-fluid equivalent of Wein-berg's hugely-dense space medium. Here we see photons acting transversely in all processes of photonic exci-tation or de-excitation, thus explaining the photon property of transversality. Simple inertial properties of an electron in the kinetic-fluid medium are invoked to show how the transverse action of an arriving N-wave pho-ton causes oscillations in electron position in an antenna. Polarization can be attributed to N-wave photons if the wave cross-sections are blade-shaped rather than circular. This explanation is consistent with Malus' law and polarizations observed in molecular scattering of sunlight. The N-wave photon concept is seen as supple-mentary to, and not in lieu of, other theories of the makeup of the physical vacuum.
