Explain the wave nature of light.

Explanation

Wave nature of light: According to Newton, light is a stream of particles which are also known as corpuscles of light This could not account for the phenomena of interference and deflection (as Rutherford's model) but justified reflection and refraction.
Hygen suggested in his wave theory that the light travels in the form of waves later James Maxwell proposed that light and other radiations are transmitted, these waves are associated with oscillating electric and magnetic field.
