I have found that the study of light energy and atomic particles began centuries ago by scientists such as, Thomas Young, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. In the early 1800’s Thomas Young performed an experiment, expecting to find light traveling as particles ( Spring , Kenneth R. ). Isaac Newton’s prior experiments supported the particle theory, so Young expected to find the same ( Freudenrich, Craig.). Young focused a beam of light on a very narrow slit and expected to see the exact size and shape of that slit on a screen behind the piece of material that contained the slit ( Freudenrich, Craig). However, he noticed that the slit pattern on the screen was brightest in the middle, but extended out to the sides ( Freudenrich, Craig). Young wondered how particles traveling in straight lines could be dispersed when they pass through the slit. So he tried an experiment with two slits, which is famously known as the double-slit experiment ( Schirber , Michael ). Instead of seeing two shapes on the screen, Young saw a bunch of vertical lines that were brightest in the center of the pattern and darker to the sides. In between the vertical lines, were dark lines. Young and other scientists came to the conclusion that light was traveling in waves, and where the waves were interacting and canceling each other out, they caused the interference pattern seen on the screen ( Harris, William.). Scientists now believed that light traveled as both particles and in waves ( Jessa, Tega). Albert Einstein was one of the most famous scientists to work on this theory, which even led to his theory of special relativity (E=mc^2) and nuclear fission ( Harris, William). All that from studying light! = = = = = = = Works Cited =
