Numerical modeling techniques such as the finite element method, the boundary element method and the transmission-line matrix method can be used to model the propagation of light in systems which cannot be solved analytically.

In 1911, Einstein published another article " On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light " expanding on the 1907 article, in which he estimated the amount of deflection of light by massive bodies.
33.
Some predictions of general relativity differ significantly from those of classical physics, especially concerning the passage of time, the geometry of space, the motion of bodies in free fall, and the propagation of light.

35.
Both of these methods, as Maxwell points out, had succeeded in explaining the propagation of light as an electromagnetic phenomenon while at the same time the fundamental conceptions of what the quantities concerned are, radically differed.
36.
"' Fred Optical Engineering Software "'( "'FRED "') is a commercial 3D CAD computer program for optical engineering used to simulate the propagation of light through optical systems.
37.
For the propagation of light in a transparent medium with a non-unit non-uniform refractive index, the invariant quantity along a ray is the specific intensity divided by the square of the absolute refractive index.
38.
"According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time.
39.
Furthermore, quantum electrodynamics places the propagation of light in an entirely different, but still relativistic, context, which is completely incompatible with any theory that postulates a speed of light that is affected by the speed of the source.
40.
In this sense, the HJE fulfilled a long-held goal of theoretical physics ( dating at least to Johann Bernoulli in the 18th century ) of finding an analogy between the propagation of light and the motion of a particle.
