Light Propagation Through a Medium

This page is going to be about about Light Propagation. A work in progress by Uche Nkadi.

The Main Idea

Mass is one of the intrinsic properties of physical bodies that exist in 3-dimensional space. Mass is the underlying fundamental concept that governs gravity, inertia, and rest energy. The SI units for mass is kilograms (kg).

A Mathematical Model

What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.

A Computational Model

How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here Teach hands-on with GlowScript

Properties

Gravitational Attraction

One of the intrinsic properties of mass is its gravitational attraction. A body of mass not only attracts other bodies of mass but also is attracted by other bodies of mass.
