Question
For the propagation of light wave, medium is required. This is according to:
✓
Answer
- Huygen's theory
Huygens suggested that light may be a wave phenomenon produced by mechanical vibrations of an all pervading hypothetical homogenous medium called eather just like those in solids and liguid .This medium was supposed to be mass less with extremely high elasticity and very low density.
