Measuring the Velocity of LightDistance is the measured path from the light source, to the rotating mirror, to the stationary mirror, back to the rotating mirror and to the observer.Time is the time it takes for the spinning mirror to turn between reflecting angles.The velocity of light = C = D/T = 300,000 km/sec

The Wave Nature of LightRefraction
Refraction is a property of a wave that causes it to change direction as it passes through a different medium. The longer wavelengths are bent the least, the short are bent the most.

The Wave Nature of Light
Diffraction
Diffraction allows the waves to interact with each other, sometimes cancelling and sometime reinforcing.

Electromagnetic Wave
The Wave Nature of Light
Visible light is part of an electromagnetic spectrum whose waves travel at the velocity of light. All parts of the spectrum have in common that their waves have both a magnetic and an electric component.

Electro-magnetic SpectrumThere is no limit to the wavelengths of the electro-magnetic waves from the very short gamma waves to the very long radio waves. The various sections of the spectrum have different names but they have many features in common.

When solids, liquids or gas at high pressure are heated to incandescence and viewed with at spectrograph the results are Continuous Curves of a characteristic shape. These results are also known as Black Body Curves or Thermal Curves
Thermal Curves

Particle Nature of Light
Einstein described the second nature of light as a bundle of energy (photon) which was inversely proportional to the wavelength,

Bohr Model of an AtomThe Niels Bohr model of the atom was a major leap forward in our understanding of atomic structure, but it was not the final answer. Bohr postulated that electron orbits about the nucleus are quantized.
