MCQ
The wave-like character was experimentally proved for light by:
  • A
    Newton
  • ✓
    Young
  • C
    Maxwell
  • D
    Huygens
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Young

Newton's particle theory remained accepted for a long time when it was challenged by the double$-$slit experiment of Thomas Young $(1773-1829)$ in $1801$. This experiment clearly established that light coming from two coherent sources interferes and produces maxima and minima depending on the path difference.
