The ray, wave, and photon models of all are all able to explain observations of reflection and refraction. The wave model can explain all characteristics except the photoelectric effect. The simple photon model can explain all but polarization), which is a wave phenomenon. (More complex aspects of the photon model can explain polarization.)
