class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wave optics tells us about a famous disagreement between two big groups of scientists who wanted to understand light. One group thinks light acts like particles, while the other thinks it acts like waves.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Isaac Newton believed in the idea that light is made of tiny particles called corpuscles. He said these particles move really fast from a light source and help us see by bouncing off our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>With his particle theory, Newton could explain things like reflection and refraction. However, he couldn&#8217;t explain other light behaviors like interference, diffraction, and polarization. One big problem with Newton&#8217;s theory was that it couldn&#8217;t clarify why light slows down in denser materials compared to air or a vacuum.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a
