    "abstract": "We associate intrinsic energy equal to $h\\nu/2$ with the spin angular\nmomentum of photon and propose a topological model based on orbifold in space\nand tifold in time as topological obstructions. The model is substantiated\nusing vector wavefield disclinations. The physical photon is suggested to be a\nparticle like topological photon and a propagating wave such that the energy\n$h\\nu$ of photon is equally divided between spin energy and translational\nenergy corresponding to linear momentum of $h\\nu/c$. The enigma of\nwave-particle duality finds natural resolution and the proposed model gives new\ninsights into the phenomena of interference and emission of radiation.",
