(2:41) 330 $aIs light composed of waves or particles? This collection of 17 computer-animated video modules explores the wave model of light, from its earliest roots to our modern understanding of electromagnetism. Empedocles' belief that light streams from the eye, Aristotle's conception of light as a disturbance in ether, and Euclid's mathematical, ray-centered paradigms are all explored. The Cartesian sine wave model, Huygens' principle of bending wave fronts, the electromagnetic spectrum, and aspects of particle theory are also presented, along with overviews of diffraction, interference, polarization, and dispersion, and an explanation of Young's double-slit experiment. 410 0$aLight (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aLight 606 $aSound-waves 606 $aWave mechanics 606 $aWaves 608 $aEducational films. 608 $aInternet videos. 608 $aVideorecording.$2local 615 0$aLight. 615 0$aSound-waves. 615 0$aWave mechanics. 615 0$aWaves. 712 02$aFilms for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) 712 02$aNorthey Productions Ltd. 801 0$bAzPhAEM 906 $aVIDEO 912 $a9910596907903321 996 $aThe Wave Nature of Light$92947869 997 $aUNINA
