• This was one of the investigations that led to the victory of the wave theory of light over then predominant corpuscular theory.
• He named this phenomenon polarization, and thought it could not be explained by wave theory of light. Instead, he explained it by stating that light-corpuscules have polarity (like magnetic poles).
• He believed it demonstrated that the wave theory of light was correct, and his experiment is sometimes referred to as Young's experiment or Young's slits.
• In the appendices of the book 'Baltimore lectures on molecular dynamics and the wave theory of light' where the main text was based on a series of lectures given in 1884, Lord Kelvin discussed the potential number of stars around the sun from the observed velocity dispersion of the stars near the sun, assuming that the sun was 20 to 100 million years old.
• It was only after Thomas Young proposed the wave theory of light, c.

• During the early 19th century, many scientists began to disregard the corpuscular theory in favor of the wave theory of light.
• According to the wave theory of light, an ordinary ray of light is considered to be vibrating in all planes of right angles to the direction of its propagation.
• Young is credited with establishing the wave theory of light, in contrast to the particle theory of Isaac Newton.
• The civil engineer Augustin-Jean Fresnel entered this competition by submitting a new wave theory of light.
• In 1884, Thomson led a master class on "Molecular Dynamics and the Wave Theory of Light" at Johns Hopkins University.

• Scientific inquiry into the wave nature of light began in the 17th and 18th centuries, when scientists such as Robert Hooke, Christiaan Huygens and Leonhard Euler proposed a wave theory of light based on experimental observations.
• Challis also worked in hydrodynamics and in optics where he supported the wave theory of light and advanced the theory of a luminiferous ether as a medium for its propagation.
• This appeared to be at odds with Maxwell's wave theory of light, which predicted that the electron energy would be proportional to the intensity of the radiation.
• Laplace withdrew his suggestion later, after a wave theory of light became firmly established as the model for light (as has been explained, neither a particle or wave theory is fully correct).
• His 1740s papers on optics helped ensure that the wave theory of light proposed by Christiaan Huygens would become the dominant mode of thought, at least until the development of the quantum theory of light.
