Abstract | The objective of this article is to contribute to the scant literature that exists on historical developments on the nature of light. It traces the nature of light from the times of the ancient Greeks to the classical theories prior to Planck. The development of thought that characterizes the evolution of a concept in physics over time affords opportunities to see how it is shaped to the level of present-day understanding. A case is made for incorporating the historical development of ideas in the teaching of physics. (As Provided). |
