st e acton the mystery of light second of two parts apart from the early greek phil- osophirs it has always been gen erally agreed vision is caused b light coming from the object seen and entering the eve ah but what is light we still do not know exactl but modern scientific thought seems to favor a combin ation of two original opposing theories the advocates of the corpuscul ar theorv of light thought that light was some sort of substance emitted from the luminous bodv in the form of a shower of particjes travelling at great speed three hundred voars ago sir iswae new ton adopted this theory as a basis for his research if ue assume that when light particles travel in a un iform medium the are not sub ject to any force the corpuscular theory would explain why light rays travel w ith a constant speed in a straight line this theory also seemed to explain light reflection and refraction bending pf light rays by a lens etc since no one knew how to measure the speed of light at that time there was no means of disproving the corpuscul ar theory however while newton was dev eloping his theories christian huy- gens suggested the wave theory of light this assumes that light is somefgrm of wave motion set up by the luminous body and tra velling outwards through pace just as ripples sprealfrolcn a stone i thrown in tola pond oras sound waves travel m- all directions from i bell the wave theorywas ahle to explain why in certain circum stances two beams of light could each cancel the others effect and so produce a region of darkness light interference if the waves of one beam always produce a crest when the other beam is producing a trough then the total effect would be zero by assuming that light waves vibrated at right angles to the dir ection the 1 ght rav trd tiled just as an aeroplane propellor rotates at right angles to the direction of the plane it was possible to explain the polarisation of light another important optical phnomenon in the 19th ctnttirv clerk maxwell md hertz scrmed to have proven lot onlv tht wave theor of light out also tht argument that light- aivcs were really electromagnetic inrations just like radiowaves ecept for tne difference in wove wvth a the end of the last century however a series of scientific dis- co eres were made as to the be- hai t ot light which could not be explained by the wave theory at h3 juncture albert einstein dev eloped a new form of corpuscular theory in which he regarded light as a showed of photons units of radiant energy emitted by the luminous body t at present the behavior of light can onlv be explained by thinking of it in some situations as waves and m others as particles thus ie hae two different theories each of which explains part but not all of the facts the task of perfectly reconciling these two theories has not been done as yec but must await the band of some future scientist v next month look for the lav ing camera 1
