A self-consistent theory is developed based on the principle of relativity for a plane wave in a moving non-dispersive, lossless, non-conducting, isotropic uniform medium. Light-momentum criterion is set up for the first time, which states that the momentum of light in a medium is parallel to the wave vector in all inertial frames of reference. By rigorous analysis, novel basic properties of the plane wave are exposed: (1) Poynting vector does not necessarily represent the electromagnetic (EM) power flow when a medium moves, (2) Minkowski light momentum and energy constitute a Lorentz four-vector in a form of single EM-field cell or single photon, and Planck constant is a Lorentz invariant, (3) there is no momentum transfer taking place between the plane wave and the uniform medium, and the EM momentum conservation equation cannot be uniquely determined without resort to the principle of relativity, and (4) when the medium moves opposite to the wave vector at a faster-than-dielectric light speed, negative frequency and negative EM energy density occur, with the plane wave becoming left-handed. Finally, a new physics of so-called "intrinsic Lorentz violation" is presented as well.

We show that the phase velocity in a stationary state of a de Broglie wave can be directly obtained from the probability distribution, i.e. the quantum trajectories, without detailed knowledge of the phase term itself. In other words, the amplitude of a de Broglie wave function describes not only the probability distribution but also the phase velocity distribution. Using this relationship, we comment on two calculations of the Goos-Hänchen shift in de Broglie waves. phase velocity, de Broglie wave, Goos-Hänchen shift Citation:Wang P X, Wang J X, Huo Y K, et al.

“…A systematic method to derive the Doppler effect, without involving transformation of space-time coordinates, was presented in the literature [2,11]. Even more, in a certain case an anomaly -the problem of negative frequency of waves, was found by applying the invariance of the phase of waves which is equivalent to relativistic transformation of both physical quantities (ν, k) and space-time coordinates (t, r) simultaneously [12]. This indicates that the invariance of the phase of waves is invalid.…”

The present expression of radiation of an accelerated point charge is only approximately valid. The exact expression of radiation of an accelerated point charge is derived based on special relativity, and using the Larmor formulation for the radiation of an charged particle being accelerated, but instantaneously at rest. The totaled radiation power obtained by the exact expression is the same as Liénard's generalization of the Larmor formula.
