Why does not light deflect by electric or magnetic field if it is an electromagnetic oscillations?
Hmm, that's interesting. But what about when light travels through a medium like water, why does it slow down and bend?
When light passes through a medium like water, it interacts with the atoms and molecules in the medium, which can cause the light to bend or slow down. This is because the electric and magnetic fields associated with the light waves are affected by the charged particles in the medium, which can alter the speed and direction of the wave.
