The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement provided in the options about the contributions of various scientists to the wave theory of light. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the first statement:** - **Statement:** "Christian Huygens, a contemporary of Newton, establishes the wave theory of light assuming light is transferred." - **Analysis:** Christian Huygens indeed proposed the wave theory of light in the 17th century, suggesting that light travels in waves. This statement is correct. 2. **Evaluate the second statement:** - **Statement:** "Maxwell provided the compelling theoretical evidence that light is transferred with." - **Analysis:** James Clerk Maxwell formulated the theory of electromagnetism, which showed that light is an electromagnetic wave. This statement is also correct. 3. **Evaluate the third statement:** - **Statement:** "Thomas Young experimentally proved the wave behavior of light and Huygens' assumptions." - **Analysis:** Thomas Young conducted the famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated the interference pattern of light, supporting the wave theory and Huygens' principle. This statement is correct as well. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since all three statements are correct, we can conclude that the correct option is: - **Option D:** All statements given above are correct. ### Final Answer: **Option D: All statements are correct.** ---
