COMPARISON OF THE BEHAVIOR FOR LIGHT AND SOLIDS WHEN MOVING IN DEFORMABLE MEDIA.

The results obtained in the experiments of the high-speed entry of the solids into water and experiments on crossing the flat air-plasticine interface by solids are compared with the properties of light, which are manifested under similar conditions. The shots have been fired along the normal and at an angle to the surface with single spherical bodies, lined up in single file or packed tightly in a thin wooden cup in layers of seven balls (one in the center and six around). This condition makes it possible to compare the phenomenon of rebound reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
