After assuming that light is a material substance, he does not further discuss its nature but confines his investigations to the diffusion and propagation of light.
22.
One recent mathematical modeling study has suggested that the optical properties of the cristae in filamentous mitochondria may affect the generation and propagation of light within the tissue.
23.
This allows Faraday rotators to be used to construct devices such as optical isolators to prevent undesired back propagation of light from disrupting or damaging an optical system.
24.
In 1816, Fresnel showed that Huygens'principle, together with his own principle of interference could explain both the rectilinear propagation of light and also diffraction effects.
25.
Another major activity of the theoretical physics group has been in studying propagation of light waves in certain types of liquid crystals and minerals and their associated polarization phenomenon.
26.
If there is an error in ( say ) the propagation of light to allow spontaneously glowing " spirits "-then it's not a small mistake!

:: This is the only known example of " real " faster than c propagation of light . talk ) 20 : 58, 18 April 2010 ( UTC)
28.
In the 19th century, luminiferous aether ( or ether ), meaning light-bearing aether, was a theorized medium for the propagation of light ( electromagnetic radiation ).
29.
Spacetime geometry can influence the propagation of light, making them converge on or diverge from each other, or deforming the bundle's cross section without changing its area.

}} With this modification Fresnel obtained Bradley's vacuum result even for non-vacuum telescopes, and was also able to predict many other phenomena related to the propagation of light in moving bodies.
