• A common observation in our daily life is that light travels in straight line.

• When Huygens propounded his wave theory, it was a heresy.

• However, soon it became a dogma as interference patterns, refraction etc.,could be successfully explained on the basis of wave theory.

• It was believed that light was only energy but when photoelectric effect was discovered it was proposed that light had a particle nature too, this was greatly debated and treated as a hearsay.

• However Einstein finally proved it with his quantum theory of light.

• Henceforth, it has been treated as a dogma.
