Join Patrick, Pheely, and Liam as we explore some more properties of light in the second episode of our third season. Before we delve into how light passes through matter, we discuss just why it is so difficult to walk on sand. The answer may surprise you as we discuss deformed surfaces. As our main topic, we discuss how light propagates through matter, why it slows down, and how it bends. Although these phenomena are well-known, the mechanism behind them is quite intriguing. We end the episode with the story of Sir Isaac Newton, one of the main pillars of modern science.
