Variation In The Reflection
Of Light From Glass - light and the surfaces of objects

The Standard model of particle physics

Models light as a quantum wave

That has a wave-particle duality that explores all possible paths

In this physics model

Light is a long thin particle

That moves through space in an ordinary manner

This physics model has a 'neutral' particle that consists of both positive and negative electric charge

In the model, the proton is a positron sandwiched between a pair of the left and right 'neutral' particles

And the neutron is a proton with an electron embedded into the side of the proton

As a suggestion, the electric field particles emitted by the 'neutral' particle, are long in length

Their long length allows the 'neutral' particle electric field particles to wrap around a particle of light, stretching out one side of the particle of light, while compressing up its other side

Causing the particle of light to arc along its body and alter its direction

As a suggestion, the electric field particles emitted by the electron, and the positron that is inside a proton, are short in length

Their short length cannot wrap around a particle of light

And their short length cannot change the direction of a particle of light

In this physics model

Light is not affected by the short electric field particles of the electron, or the positron that is inside a proton

But light is affected by the long positive and negative electric field particles of the 'neutral' particles that are part of the proton and the neutron

As a suggestion, in the glass

The pulsating positive and negative 'neutral' particle electric fields from one atomic nucleus

Trigger the release of the positive and negative 'neutral' particle electric fields from its neighbouring nuclei

The pulsating positive and negative 'neutral' particle electric field synchronisation spreads

Resulting in the glass having a synchronised, pulsating positive and negative 'neutral' particle electric field at the surface of the glass

That is able to interact with light

As a suggestion

When succesive thin layers are removed from the surface of the glass, the synchronised pulsating positive and negative 'neutral' particle electric fields at the surface of the glass, alter as a whole

Causing a different amount of light to be reflected from the front surface of a block of glass (cycling between 0% and 16%), when succesive thin layers are removed from the back surface of the glass

In this physics model

It is the change in the pulsating positive and negative 'neutral' particle electric fields at the surface of the block of glass

That alters the amount of the light reflected

The Standard model of particle physics uses the concept

That a photon is in multiple places at the same time

And that a photon is able to produce an interference pattern in its own path through space
