Question
The interference of light was first demonstrated experimentally by:
✓
Answer
- Thomas Young
Thomas Young demonstrated the phenomenon of interference in water waves.
In 1801, he presented a famous paper to the Royal Society entitled "On the Theory of Light and Colours" which described various interference phenomena, and in 1803 he performed his famous double-slit experiment.
