Momentum is conserved. So the momentum cannot change. But it can be shared with the medium so that it may not make sense to ask whether the momentum resides in the medium or in the light.Samson4 said:That brought up a question about light slowing down in a medium. Since the energy doesn't change, does this mean the momentum doesn't either?
