Visible light travels more slowly through an optically dense medium than through a vacuum. A possible explanation for this could be that the light:
A. is absorbed and re-emitted by the atomic structure of the optically dense medium.
B. loses amplitude as it passes through the optically dense medium.
Answer is: A
The explanation is that both answers are "true" but only one (in white) directly answers the question. I don't understand how the wrong answer...
