Light Is Waves: Crash Course Physics

The video explores the wave nature of light, starting with the shadow of a coin and the bright spot phenomenon. It delves into historical perspectives, explaining Huygens' principle and its role in predicting wave behavior. The concepts of diffraction and interference are discussed, with a focus on the double slit experiment by Thomas Young, which demonstrates light's wave properties. The video also covers single slit diffraction patterns and concludes with a summary of the wave theory of light.
