Light’s Fundamentals
Journal Title: International Journal of Fundamental Physical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Current theory has it that as light passes from one medium to another, that it is the change in velocity that ‘causes’ the light to be refracted entering the new medium at a different angle, also known as the Huygens principle. Evidence, however, proves this to be in error since light’s velocity (by common knowledge) changes in the normal as well as by refraction, nor will it refract in the normal. A change in density affects velocity and only velocity. While a change in direction is accomplished by angular deviation, by the angle of incidence at which each separate wavelength strikes the surface out of the normal.

Predicted Dynamic and Structural Criterion of Evaluation of Gravitational Waves
The cosmic (physical) vacuum according to modern data possesses the properties of a material medium. In combination with the celestial bodies, this medium is capable of forming dynamic structures. Presumably, these struc...
Theory of relativity: Analysis of Lorentz transformation and Lorentz factor
Views In this paper, we intended to understand why and how the Lorentz transformations act. Knowing the structure of formula will help us to consider more about the fallacy of time dilation. Here, w...
