从惠更斯到爱因斯坦——对光本性的不懈探索

From Huygens to Einstein:Unremitting Pursuit for the Nature of Light

公元1600年以来，人类对光的本性进行了不懈的探索。光的波动说与微粒说各领风骚上百年。它们之间除了激烈论战的-面外，还有相互吸收的另一面。经过不断努力，最终人们认识到“波粒二象性”才是光的本性。在这个过程中．惠更斯、牛顿、托马斯·杨、菲涅耳、麦克斯韦和爱因斯坦等众多科学家做出了卓越贡献。

There had been an unremitting effort in search of the nature of light since 1600.A long-lasting dispute between the wave theory and the corpuscular theory continually promoted people' s understanding of light.In that process,Huygens,Newton,Thomas Young,Fresnel,Maxwell and Einstein made their historious contributions.
