... Arthur Holly Compton studied the scattering of x-rays from electrons in a graphite target in 1923. He found that the wavelength of the scattered x-ray increased as the scattering angle measured from the forward direction increased. This puzzled him since according to electromagnetic wave ideas, the ...

History of optics

Optics began with the development of lenses by the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, followed by theories on light and vision developed by ancient Greek philosophers, and the development of geometrical optics in the Greco-Roman world. The word optics is derived from the Greek term τα ὀπτικά which refers to matters of vision. Optics was significantly reformed by the developments in the medieval Islamic world, such as the beginnings of physical and physiological optics, and then significantly advanced in early modern Europe, where diffractive optics began. These earlier studies on optics are now known as ""classical optics"". The term ""modern optics"" refers to areas of optical research that largely developed in the 20th century, such as wave optics and quantum optics.
