The idea that light is composed of a stream of particles is also consistent with the observation that a beam of light from a flashlight or a laser seems to travel in straight lines except when it encounters an interface between two optical media. We call this straight-line path a ray of light. The ray model allows us to explain in simplest terms the formation of images by lenses and mirrors. 虽然我们通常认为光是一种波动现象，但是这并不是可能存在的唯一观点。除非遇到障碍物，一束由手电筒发出的光或者一束激光将沿直线传播，光是由粒子束组成的观点与此相一致。我们把这种（光的）直线路径称为光线。光线的模型使得我们可以用最简单的术语来解释透镜和平面镜形成的像。 3 1.1 Models of Light: Rays and Waves However, light displays particle like characteristics when it interacts with matter, as it does, for example, when sunlight falls on a leaf and photosynthesis take place. The apparent conflict over this waveparticle duality can not be understood with just the theories of Newto
