1 .
That agent ,
force ,
or action in nature by the operation of which upon the organs of sight ,
objects are rendered visible or luminous .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material particles ,
or corpuscules ,
sent off in all directions from luminous bodies ,
and traversing space ,
in right lines ,
with the known velocity of about 186 ,
300 miles per second ;
but it is now generally understood to consist ,
not in any actual transmission of particles or substance ,
but in the propagation of vibrations or undulations in a subtile ,
elastic medium ,
or ether ,
assumed to pervade all space ,
and to be thus set in vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies ,
as the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies .
This view of the nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave theory ;
the other ,
advocated by Newton (
but long since abandoned ),
as the corpuscular ,
emission ,
or Newtonian theory .
A more recent theory makes light to consist in electrical oscillations ,
and is known as the electro -
magnetic theory of light .
