THE NATURE OF LIGHT Until the time of Isaac Newton (1642–1727)‚ most scientists thought that light consisted of streams of particles (called corpuscles) emitted by light sources. Galileo and others tried (unsuccessfully) to measure the speed of light. Around 1665‚ evidence of wave properties of light began to be discovered. By the early 19th century‚ evidence that light is a wave had grown very persuasive. In 1873‚ James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and calculated

Jackson began to receive urgent requests for reinforcements all along the front. One officer rode up to report the brigade commander had been shot down and the survivors were badly shaken.

the speed of light “So far as problems involving light are concerned‚ the electrons (in atoms) behave as though they were held by springs”.Feynman “In a microscopic but otherwise classical analysis‚ the electric field in electromagnetic radiation accelerates electrons held by springs in the atoms of a piece of glass‚ and these accelerated electrons re-radiate in all directions. The observed light is the superposition of the electric (and magnetic) fields of the incoming light and the re-radiation
