sin theta 1/sin theta 2 = [(uo*eo)/u1*e1)]^1/2 = v1/v2 = v1/c or: sin theta 1/sin theta 2 = N2/N1
IOW, the Index of Refraction of a Photon traveling at c that has turned into an Inertial Mass-Particle Pair. Logically uo = u1, thus N2/N1 = sin theta 1/sin theta 2 = [eo/e1]^1/2 Or Snell's law: sin theta 1 = [eo/e1]^1/2 (sin theta 2) Total Internal Reflection/Self Imposed Boundary Condition for an Inertial Mass-Particle: Snell's Law of Total Internal Reflection: sin theta (critical) = [eo/e1]^1/2 = [1/137.03]^1/2 = alpha^1/2 = 0.08542 Theta = 4.9 degrees. >From this, the Phase velocity in a particle equals c, and the Group velocity = c/137. Or is the Phase Velocity 137 * c? Fred
