This research extensively investigates the speed characteristics of light in a medium through the Fizeau experiment. By leveraging the particle properties of light, a physical model of particle movement in a medium is constructed to dissect the underlying physics mechanisms. The experimental data and theoretical analysis mutually corroborate, revealing the influence of the relative velocities between photons and the electric field, as well as between photons and the medium, on the speed of light in a medium. This research provides a rational justification for the Fizeau experiment and holds significant importance for the research and utilization of light.
