Description

In this work, the photon equation (massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation) is written explicitly for the general type of stationary Goedel spacetimes and is solved exactly for the Goedel-type and the Goedel spacetimes. The harmonic oscillator behaviour of the solutions is discussed and the energy spectrum of the photon is obtained. Finally, the solution of Maxwell equations is found to show equivalence with the photon equation
