In this paper we speak about angular momentum, we have shown that the separation of the total angular momentum of the electromagnetic field into its orbital and spin parts. It is dictated by quantum mechanics of photons reproduces. Therefore, the results are derived from the proprieties of Fourier and Maxwell fields by Darwin, with the correspondence results that derived heuristically by many authors.
