“ The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.”

Johannes Kepler

When Kepler determined the ratio of 3 to 2 between the logarithm of the orbital period of a planet and the logarithm of the average radius of the orbit of that planet, he concluded that he had found a harmonious proportion that sought relentlessly. The third law of Kepler is a pure expression of logarithmic harmony, as in music. Kepler believed he had finally found the harmonic chords of celestial music.

 A new hypothesis about light: during propagation, its frequency undergoes a exponential decay proportional to distance traveled.

Before any discussion on the light we need to recall some concepts about the wave motion.

Any article intending to describe the basic concepts of wave motion presents the classic figure of rope stuck in a fixed support one of its ends and the other end oscillating by the hand of an observer. The rope then executed a movement of cyclical ascent and descent commencing on the hand of the observer and goes spreading until the fixed end.

We call the "peak" the highest points achieved by the rope during the motion and called "valleys" the lower points. A complete cycle consists of a peak and a valley. The number of repetitions of cycles per second determines the frequency of motion. A cycle per second is a unit of frequency called Hertz (Hz) in honor of the scientist who successfully produced the first artificial electromagnetic waves. The distance between two consecutive peaks is called "wavelength", measured in meters.
