... Light is a result of excited atoms giving off energy. Atoms are the building blocks of matter and consist of a positively charged nucleus of protons and neutrons orbited by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Heat, light, and electricity are among the things that can excite atoms. Once excited, ...

Physics 323 Lecture Notes Part I: Optics
... When light propagates in a transparent material medium, its speed is in general less than the speed in vacuum c. An interesting consequence of this is that a light ray will change direction when passing from one medium to another. Since the light ray appears to be “broken”, the phenomenon is known a ...
