When light passes through glass, is it described as:

1) The quantum field is modified because of the glass and a single
interaction occurs - light source EM particle to final other EM particle.
Sum of all paths but with the glass eliminating some of the more direct
ones.

or

2) A complex set of absorption retransmission series of events within the
glass.

I think either of the above could be made to work in a model. Don't
know that there needs to be a definitive answer one way or the other
physically. Is that photon a particle or a wave? Same issue.


or

3) Something else?
