Relativity theory gives a relationship predicting the increase of mass of relativistic moving particles, but no physical model has been given to describe the fundamental physical mechanism responsible for the formation of that additional mass.љ We show here that this additional kinetic mass is explained by a well-known mechanism involving electromagnetic energy.љ This is demonstrated taking into account the magnetic field generated by a moving electric charge, calculated using the Biot-Savart equation.љ We show that the mass of the energy of the induced magnetic field of a moving electron is always identical to the relativistic mass M_o(g-1) deduced in Einstein's relativity. Therefore the relativistic parameter g can be calculated using electromagnetic theory.љ Also, we explain that in order to satisfy the equations of electromagnetic theory and the principle of energy and momentum conservation, toroidal vortices must be formed in the electric field of an accelerated electron.љ Those vortices are also simultaneously compatible with the magnetic field of the Lorentz force and the well-known de Broglie wave equation. This leads to a physical description of the internal structure of the electron in motion, which is at the same time compatible with the Coulomb field, the de Broglie wavelength equation, mass-energy conservation and with the magnetic field predicted by electromagnetic theory.љ That realistic description is in complete agreement with all physical data and conventional logic.љ The paper concludes with an application, which is a first classical model of the photon, fully compatible with physical reality, without the conflicting dualistic wave-particle hypothesis.

A preliminary description of the fundamental nature of light has already been described previously, but this was incomplete, because the fundamental nature of the emitting process of light, explained here, was then unavailable. The morphology of the electron, emitting the wave-packet, has to be known before we can understand the morphology of the wave-packet. We have seen how those morphologies must be compatible. The fundamental description given here gives a complete realistic description of light and its diffraction mechanism, which was initiated in the book "Absurdities in Modern Physics: A Solution". We have now a first complete description of a fully realistic model of light, solving the dilemma of the so-called wave-particle dualistic nature of light. This realistic model of light works in conjunction with the realistic description of matter in physics as described previously. These descriptions show that common sense is always applicable in nature, and phenomena can always be described using classical physical models. More mathematical calculation related to this realistic model of the photon will be given later.
