| Sep 10, 2013 at 23:28 | comment | added | Owens | BTW I dont believe it's accurate to say that light slows down because it's bouncing around from particle to particle in different directions. I commented as much in the previous discussion. If this was correct, photons would emerge from the medium in all random directions and at varying apparent speeds, which is not how it works. | |
