Reply to comment by Chemomechanics in Does refracting light impart momentum onto the object that is refracting it, for the duration of the refraction? by TheFeshy

I don't know. I am a normal dude in IT that spends too much time on the internet. I have a middling understanding of this stuff and am curious. If a refractory medium like a lens behaves differently than a filter that would be interesting. 😁

I was just looking for “It’s dimmer.” That’s what provides the energy that’s absorbed in the medium, not any change in frequency.
