Based on the quantum field theory and classical electromagnetic field theory, the behaviors of the electromagnetic field
in the boundary of the classical environment and the quantum environment were studied, and three dead-points and five
paradoxes, like Lorentz-Compton paradox, non-conservation of the energy of the electromagnetic field before and after
quantization due to a number of zero-point energy, the non-self-consistence of the wave-particle duality, etc, were
discovered. Through analyzing these dead-points and paradoxes, we found that these paradoxes are related to each
other, and all wrapped together. The core problem is the non-self-consistence in the theoretical system and the
ambiguity in the mechanism of the wave-particle duality. Based on resolving the classical electromagnetic field into the
electromagnetic element-waves according to the photons, a third kind of wave-particle duality, the particle-like
characteristics of the classical electromagnetic field in structure, was put forward, and the structure of &pgr;-shape of three
kinds of wave-particle duality was revealed. So, in wave-particle duality, the wave and the particle are staggered in
existing time, or in existing form, either in imagination or in reality, and the third kind of wave-particle duality will be
combined into a unit with the first kind of wave-particle duality, Einstein's wave-particle duality of light, and the second
kind of wave-particle duality, de Broglie's wave-particle duality of matter particle. Hence, a self-consistent picture of
wave-particle duality of light was set up, and three dead-points and five paradoxes of the electromagnetic field in the
boundary of the classical environment and the quantum environment were dispelled. In the last, a crucial experiment
was designed for testing this picture.
