Huygens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry. my options are Newton Young Einstein

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Newton was an adherent of the corpuscular/particle theory of light Young noticed that light could interfere in a way analogous to sound Einstein was responsible for reconciling both theories into a quantum theory of light (that it has both particle-like and wave-like behaviour) Huygens was like 110 years before Young, though

OpenStudy (anonymous):
