This page is going to be about about Light Propagation. A work in progress . Edited by Roshan Konda Fall 2017
The Main Idea
When light travels through anything but a vacuum the speed of light travels at a speed different from c=3.00E8 and the light particles scatter. The highest speed that light can travel though is the universal constant c.
A Mathematical Model
The speed of light through a medium can be given by the formula n=(c/v), where n is the index of refraction, v is the velocity of light through the medium and c is the speed of light through a vacuum.
A Computational Model
