It's intriguing to see how light bounces can be modeled by a simple geometric series, as well as the correlation between energy dissipation and convergence of the series.

So intuitively we are modeling energy dissipation using a geometric series by taking advantage of the fact that light reflected is typically less by some amount than the initial incoming light.
