👉 Light particles, often referred to as photons or light rays, are fundamental entities in optics and quantum mechanics that can be computationally simulated using light particle models. In this approach, each "particle" represents a discrete packet of light energy, moving through space according to specific rules that account for its interaction with matter, such as reflection, refraction, absorption, and scattering. Computationally, these particles are tracked individually or in groups, with their positions, velocities, and energies updated iteratively based on physical laws like the conservation of momentum and energy. This method allows for the simulation of complex light phenomena, such as the propagation of light through media with varying refractive indices, the formation of optical illusions, or the behavior of light in turbulent environments, providing a detailed and dynamic visualization of how light interacts with its surroundings.
