I. Theory. Thomas Young's experiments with light in the early 19th century established it as having "wave-like" properties. At that time, results from experiments were suggesting that light could behave as a wave. Evidence seemed to be mounting that light is a wave, undermining Newton's contention that light consisted of particles.

7.1 Electromagnetic Radiation and Wave. Much of our understanding of the electronic structure of atoms comes from observations of how matter interacts with light. Light, also known as . electromagnetic radiation, is a form of transverse wave that is characterized by the . wavelength ( ), frequency ( ), and . velocity. or speed (c), such that, c =

9. When the crests of one wave overlap the crests of another wave or waves, this occurs: constructive. interference. 10. Part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart is called is called a rarefaction. 11. Which of the following waves is an example of a mechanical wave: light, x-ray, radio or ocean wave? 12.

If this were possible, it would be a powerful piece of evidence in favor of a wave theory of light. This raises another question: if light is indeed a wave, how do we measure its wavelength? After all, light moves at a tremendous speed: 186,000 miles per second, or (first estimated by Ole Rømer in 1676 using astronomical methods).

In this way, you will become familiar with a few of the basic principles surrounding the wave theory of light. The remarkable successes of this theory explains why it was so prominent throughout the 1800’s and why it was so difficult to challenge, even when convincing evidence for a quantized radiation field began to emerge in the 1890’s.

One group of scientists, who subscribed to the wave theory, centered their arguments on the discoveries of Dutchman Christiaan Huygens. The opposing camp cited Sir Isaac Newton's prism experiments as proof that light traveled as a shower of particles, each proceeding in a straight line until it was refracted, absorbed, reflected, diffracted or ...

A wave model and a particle model of electromagnetic radiation are based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment, and the science community validates each theory before it is accepted. If new evidence is discovered that the theory does not accommodate, the theory is generally modified in light ...

We now investigate the evidence for the wave theory and how it has explained a wide range of phenomena. The wave theory of light. The Dutch scientist Christian Huygens (1629 1695), a contemporary of Newton, proposed a wave theory of light that had much merit. (Refer to …
