... unchanged with little diffraction (a fairly sharp shadow of the opening is obtained). If the size of the obstacle or aperture becomes smaller compared to the wavelength of light used, the central maximum of the diffiacted light spreads more to the geometrical shadow. Since the diffraction of light c ...

... frequency of the light so that the amount of slowing of the light so varies. The terminology “light” means all transverse oscillation of an electromagnetic propagation imprinted on flowing U-waves. That includes “light” at lower frequencies than visible light [e.g. infra-red or “heat” and radio wave ...

... When two waves of the same nature, same polarization direction (for transverse waves), same frequency, constant phase difference and almost the same amplitude meet, a steady interference pattern may be resulted. For two coherent waves, (waves of same phase) Constructive interference occurs at a poin ...

... Sunlight is made up of multiple colours of light, each with their own wavelengths. When there are lots of gas particles in the atmosphere that are smaller than the wavelength of light, there is lots of scattering of the light. The molecules in the earth’s atmosphere do not scatter much of the red li ...

Thomas Young (scientist)



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"".
