Abstract
A quaternionic wavefunction consisting of real and scalar functions is found to satisfy the quaternionic
momentum eigen value equation. Each of these components is found to satisfy a generalized damped wave
equation. This reduces to the massless Klein-Gordon equation for certain cases. For a plane wave solution the
angular frequency is complex. This equation is in agreement with the Einstein energy-momentum formula. The
spin of the particle is obtained from the interaction of the particle with the photon field.
