dc.descriptionWe associate intrinsic energy equal to $hν/2$ with the spin angular momentum of photon and propose a topological model based on orbifold in space and tifold in time as topological obstructions. The model is substantiated using vector wavefield disclinations. The physical photon is suggested to be a particle like topological photon and a propagating wave such that the energy $hν$ of photon is equally divided between spin energy and translational energy corresponding to linear momentum of $hν/c$. The enigma of wave-particle duality finds natural resolution and the proposed model gives new insights into the phenomena of interference and emission of radiation.
