The wave theory, originally proposed by Robert Hooke in the 1600s, proposes that light can act as waves as opposed to particles. It claims that waves can interfere with each other as well as have additive effects. Also, different colors are different wavelengths.

Limitations of Huygen's wave theory of light?
Give a brief account of huygen wave theory of light
What was Christiaan Huygens' wave theory of light?
Christian Huygens' was one of the first to suggest that light was a wave. His theory, the wave theory of light, stated this, it was opposed by Newton's idea that light was a particle. More recently, scientists such as Thomas Young and Max Planck proved this theory with experiments. So, simply put, the wave theory states that light is a wave, which, as far as we know, is correct.
What are thee different theories of light?
Newton's corpuscular theory Huygen's mechanical wave theory Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory Finally Planck's quantum theory LIght as a single "photon" acts somewhat differently than a wave (of energy).
What is the particle-wave theory?
Quantum mechanics.
French New Wave?

How does the discovery of the skull cap affect the believability of beyer wave of migration theory?
how does the discovery of the skullcap affect the believabilty of Beyer's wave of migration theory
What is the difference between particle and wave theory of light?
Particle theory of light can explain Photoelectric Effect,Compton effect,Pair production.... wave theory of light can explain interference,refraction...
Which theory of light is the photon more consistent with the wave theory or the particle theory?
this is a much more complicated question than perhaps you realise. try looking up "wave particle duality" photons have the strange characteristic of haveing properties of both a wave and a particle.
Enumerate the theories of nature of light?
newton corpuscular theory,huygen wave theory,maxwell electromagnetic theory and planck quantum theory
Wave theory of light was advocated by?
christian huygens
