The Young Experiment (1801)

Alan A. Grometstein

Chapter Chapter 3 in The Roots of Things, 1999, pp 65-91 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Except for some physicists, ophthalmologists, Egyptologists, arachnologists, and historians of science, few people have heard of Thomas Young, M.D. In his quiet way, he carried out an experiment in 1801 that shaped the course of physics for over a century to come. A biographical sketch is in order.
