Hi everyone, In 1905 I invented special relativity i wrote a paper on what is now called the photoelectric effect. I hypothesized that a beam of light was actually a stream of particles of light WE NOW REFER TO THEM AS A PARTICLE OF LIGHT PHOTON
LIGHT ALWAYS TRAVEL AT A CONSTANT SPEED, REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST YOU'RE MOVING WHEN YOU MEASURE IT
in 1864 Maxwell discovered that electric and magnetic field travel through space moving at the same speed of light as waves
Maxwell state that light that light is a propagating wave of electric and magnetic field
Hi Im Isaac newton
In 1665 newton thought that light was composed of extremely subtle "corpuscle " an idea reflected in the division of light into photons today.
HI I'M CHRISTIAAN HUYGENS IN THIS IS MY THEORY
in 1678 Huygens proposed that every point that a luminous disturbance meets turns into a source of a spherical wave itself
My experiment was based on the hypothesis that if light were wave like in nature then it should behave in manner similar to ripples or waves on pond of water
In 1817 young proposed that light waves were transverse (vibrating at right angle to the direction of travel ) rather than longitudinal .
