Re: REFRACTION - REFLECTION

Actually, until one can measure the speed of light in different media
Newton had a pretty good particle base explanation of refraction. Once we
could measure the speed of light in different media, we found that the
relative sizes of the speeds in Newton's model were backwards.

Which is direct evidence that the particle model does not explain the effect.
