MCQ
The interference of light was first demonstrated experimentally by:
- ASir Isaac Newton
- BMichelson
- CFraunhoffer
- ✓Thomas Young
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Thomas Young
Thomas Young demonstrated the phenomenon of interference in water waves.
In $1801$, he presented a famous paper to the Royal Society entitled "On the Theory of Light and Colours" which described various interference phenomena, and in $1803$ he performed his famous double$-$slit experiment.
