Project: Light in Medicine Aims: Knowledge of the properties and applications of light also laser as therapeutic techniques. Introduction: The speed of light when it goes from one material into another given by equation: n= c / v -------------------- (1) c: Speed of light in vacuum v: Speed of light in material n: Refractive index Light behaves both wave and particle: Wave = interference + diffraction Particle; absorbed by single molecule. Light has a number of attractive properties, many of which are used in medicine:
