Snell's law proof using springs: Brachistochrone - Part 2 of 2

The video tutorial introduces Snell's Law, explaining how light bends when transitioning between media due to speed changes. It references Fermat's Principle, which states that light travels the fastest path. The tutorial discusses optimizing light's path by balancing time spent in different media, using Mark Levy's energy minimization approach. This involves a hypothetical setup with springs to derive Snell's Law, highlighting the principle of minimizing total energy.
