The Shape of Light
Year: 1998
Keywords: dual-nature, electromagnetic radiation, Hertzian waves, light, Michelson-Morley, oscillating dipole
The conventional depiction of light as a transverse wave is misleading. A series of gedanken experiments has led to the conclusion that light propagates as other waves, as three-dimensional wave fronts through a supporting medium. This view of light might eliminate many epicycles in modern physics.
