His English had its stiffest test when, on his way back from an Australian tour, he was asked to explain skating to a Ceylon reporter who had never seen ice except in highballs...
...field. The lines of force in these fields were not arranged in Newtonian straight lines but in curves. After curved fields in space came waves of energy. The wave theory of light, which had been opposed by Newton, was picked up again because it was the only way to explain certain phenomena-for example, the diffraction rings produced when light passes through a small aperture. Before electro-magnetic waves (e.g., wireless waves) were ever demonstrated experimentally, Maxwell distilled them out of his mathematical equations, then showed that their velocity was equal to the velocity of light. Therefore, light appeared...
...discussion of the Quantum Theory. Max Planck provided the first experiments and Einstein the early theory which regards energy as released and received not in continuous flow but in separate little bundles called quanta. A quantum of light is called a photon. Einstein used early Quantum Theory to explain photoelectric action-the ability of photons to knock electrons out of metals...
