eli5: Why doesn’t photons loose velocity after going through a denser medium? 251 viewsJuly 6, 2024OtherPhysics Question100.55K July 6, 2024 0 Comments If photons go through air>liquid>air, then why it’s velocity remains the same before entering the liquid medium and after exiting the liquid medium.
