==Concept #3 - Particle Nature of Light ==
 +
===Learning objectives===
 +
#One of the early theories of light was that light is made of particles
 +
#Particle theory explains reflection and refraction; light travels in a straight line of particles
 +
#Particle theory (corpuscular theory) did not explain diffraction especially at small, microscopic scale
 +
#Discovery of photoelectric Effect provided the evidence for particle nature when all evidence was showing that light was a wave
 +
 +
===Notes for teachers===
 +
The view among scientists on light was split between wave and particle nature of light.  Issac Newton proposed his corpuscular theory while Christian Huygens proposed that light is a wave.  Reflection and refraction can be explained using particle theory of light and geometric optics supported the particle theory of light.

===Notes for teachers===
 +
Studies done on how light travels has helped us visualise it now as changing electrical magnetic fields that interact with other material objects as packets of energy. This radiation can be thought of as waves of different wavelengths. The waves are not of material objects but travelling waves changing electric and magnetic fields. Different wavelengths are associated with different energy levels and different kind of radiation.
