Scientists who have conducted experiments on the nature of light?
Newton was one.
What kind of experiment can be done for light?
You can do many, many experiments with the light. I'll just mention few categories:- Reflection of the light - Refraction of the light - Spectrum related experiments - Experiments that prove the wave nature of the light (interference) - Experiments that prove the particle nature of the light - Experiments that measure the speed of the light in space - if small scale, usually using interference etc... You may search on internet for specific experiments, by using the words of the categories mentioned upper, to narrow your search results.
What scientist said light has a dual nature?
Light was thought either to consist of waves by Huygens or of particles by Newton.
What properties of light define it as a wave?
An experiment was conducted in relation to this theory. A extremely small object (dot0 was placed in the path of light. If light is considered to be traveling in straight lines, then a small shadow should have been formed. However, in this case no shadow is formed. Meaning that light has bypassed the object... Such bypass is only possible when light is wavy in nature... How light is both wavy and particle in nature.
Why might a scientist use a light meter?
Scientist use a light meter to show how light in shining on a surface !

Which scientist carried out experiments with light rays?
Newton did experiments using prisms to show that white light contained all colours of light.

Scientist involve in electricity?
Thomas Edison is credited with building the first electric light bulb. Benjamin Franklin is also famous for his experiments involving electricity.
Where can you get simple experiments related to light?
Well, i think ehow.com provides complete experiments, and maybe about light. Try to check it out.

What are the inventions of newton?
very well, he only invented reflecting telescope in 1668 and all middle 1660s he conducted a series of experiments on the composition of light, discovering that white light is composed of the same system of colours that can be seen in a rainbow and establishing the modern study of optics (or the behaviour of light). In 1704, Newton published 'The Opticks' which dealt with light and colour.
How does a spectroscope extend a scientist's ability to observe light?
It allows a scientist to measure the wavelength of light.
What does the light microscope allow the scientist to view?
The light microscope allow the scientist to view the bloods in our body.
Which form of energy is not conducted by most meatals?
light
