摘要:
The identification, medium refractive indexn = nonrelativistic particle velocityv, in the analogy of geometrical optics with nonrelativistic particle mechanics is physically correct and useful, but can easily be misinterpreted. The conditions under which the analogy holds are outlined. The significance of Descartes’s mechanical models is also discussed.
