Chapter 7 Quantum Theory of the Atom
... One property of waves is that they can be diffracted—that is, they spread out when they encounter an obstacle about the size of the wavelength. In 1801, Thomas Young, a British physicist, showed that light could be diffracted. By the early 1900s, the wave theory of light was well established. ...
