(about solid state physics, optical communication) The main principle of optical communication is the concept of total reflection. I wonder if the total reflection is based on particle property of light, or wave property of it. The total reflection is the concept of refraction and reflection. I know that refraction and reflection of light are all properties that correspond to the particle and wave of light.(I mean, Particle property of light can explain refraction and reflection, and Wave property of...
