25.7 The Photon Model of Electromagnetic Waves
... that each view is appropriate in certain circumstances. For example, we speak of radio waves but of x rays. The “ray” terminology tells us that x rays are generally better described as photons than as waves. Figure 25.34 shows the electromagnetic spectrum with photon energy (in eV) and wavelength (i ...

Thomas Young (scientist)
.jpg?width=300)
Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
