Hey there,

A group of scientist led by the Dutch scientist Christian Huygens challenged Newton's corpuscular theory of light and stated that light is wave rather than particles. Their postulates are-

⇒All space is filled with invisible substance called ether and light travels in the form of longitudnal mechanical waves.

⇒Every luminous body which is a source of light, would be at geometric centre of the propagation of wave.

⇒All points in the medium which would receive light would lie along a curves surface called wavelet.

⇒Envelope of all wavelets in the same phase is called wave front.

⇒Further Einstein deduced that that light possess dual nature as being both, a wave as well as particle and Newton-Huygen debate came to rest.
