COMEDK · Physics · 27. Dual Nature of Matter
The wave theory of light, in its original form, was first postulated by
- A Isaac Newton
- B Christian Huygens
- C Thomas Young
- D Augustin Jean Fresnel
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Christian Huygens
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Christian Huygens believed that the light was made up of waves vibrating up and down perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave. This is known as Huygens principle.
