About this document
Understanding Light and Optics by Andie Acosta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Optics is the study of light, including its properties and interactions. There are two theories that describe the nature of light - the particle theory, which views light as discrete particles or corpuscles, and the wave theory, which describes light as an electromagnetic wave. Throughout history, theories of light have developed from early understandings by ancient Egyptians and Greeks to modern explanations of light as electromagnetic waves that can be described across the electromagnetic spectrum.
