The passage of light through a material

Real World Example

Imagine trying to walk through a busy crowd at a concert. Just as you navigate your way through the throng of people, occasionally bumping into someone or having to squeeze through tight spaces, light passes through a material, interacting with particles within it. In this analogy, you are the light, the crowd is the material, and the way you weave through the crowd mirrors how photons travel through and interact with the atoms or molecules in a material, sometimes bouncing off, slowing down, or passing straight through.
