Question

As mentioned at the beginning of this activity, light has been observed to behave as a wave and as a particle. The debate over whether light is a wave or a particle has raged for centuries and this was a very hot topic in the 17th century. One group of scientists supported the Wave Theory of light and another group supported the Particle Theory. The lead voice in support of the Wave Theory was that of Christiaan Huygens of Holland, while Sir Isaac Newton, a well known and respected scientist, was a major supporter of the Particle Theory. In this task, you will write a brief report detailing the evidence and arguments in favour of both the particle model or wave model that could have been made during Newton, Huygen and Hooke's time. During your research you will no doubt encounter Young's experiments of the early 19th Century. Please ignore those for the purposes of the report. Observed Properties of Light for your report: • rectilinear propagation • diffraction • reflection • refraction • partial reflection-partial refraction • dispersion
