Abstract
Louis de Broglie's celebrated hypothesis transfers a problem of representation of optics to the quantum theories. Let us suppose that the fact that originated the problem in optics is the following, "The images obtained by optical instruments are limited by diffraction. Is the diffraction phenomenon exclusively restricting of the information contained in the image or does it have some physical meaning by itself?" This considered as a problem of measurement of the radiative field does not pose the question of tracing well-defined processes in the sense of the light quantum concept. Despite this the application thereto of quantum formalism makes the essentially inferring statistical nature of measurement forecasting most important. We suggest avoiding the probabilistic conception of measurement by replacing the wave-corpuscle dualistic principle with the duality one. The latter is a basic feature of projective geometry. Referring to it we shall try to include the diffraction in a geometrical model of optics and interpret in that coherent schema the point -plane "wave" dual solution. We show what experimental substantiation the proposed duality has. Lastly, we again discuss the experimental basis of wave-corpuscle dualism.
