Before the beginning of the nineteenth century, light was considered to be a stream of particles. The particles were either emitted by the object being viewed or emanated from the eyes of the viewer. Newton was the chief architect of the particle theory of light.
- He believed the particles left the object and stimulated the sense of sight upon entering the eyes.
- Light is basic to almost all life on Earth.
- Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
- Light represents energy transfer from the source to the observer.
- Many phenomena depend on the properties of light.
