How do photon particles travel through glass?

521 viewsOtherPhysics

Been studying science in college for about 2 years and this simple question has me questioning my own IQ. I understand how light travels through different mediums but photons are particles right? Actually physical particles that can travel through solid blocks of glass?

I dont know if Im just stupid or my teacher doesnt care, this question could keep me up at night.

This 3blue1brown video playlist is the best intuitive explanation of light propagation I’ve seen. A bit more than ELI5, but perfect for a college student.
