 According to the model of light presented in the text, when a photon is incident on a glass surface it is absorbed by a glass molecule or atom and forced into vibration. This vibration results in the emission of an indistinguishable photon, which travels to the next atom or molecule to repeat the process. A cascading process of absorption and reemission occurs until the glass molecule at the far surface absorbs and reemits an identical photon.
