Wave Theory of Light

Science > Physics > Wave Theory of Light > Introduction to Wave Theory of Light In this article, we shall study various theories proposed to explain the nature of light. The main focus of the article will be on Huygens’s wave theory of light Newton’s Corpuscular Theory of Light Assumptions of Newton’s Corpuscular Theory of […]
