Description: Demonstrates the accepted theory of light as consisting of both a wave motion and discrete bundles, or quanta, of energy. Young's double-slit experiment is performed to show the wave character of light, while the photoelectric effect indicates that-light consists of energy quanta. The Compton effect and other major experiments associated with the present theory are shown in laboratory demonstrations and in animation.
