Light can be described by both the corpuscular theory proposed by Newton and the wave theory supported by Young's double-slit experiment in 1805. Young demonstrated the wave nature of light by observing the interference pattern produced when light passes through two slits, providing evidence that light exhibits wave-like properties such as interference and diffraction. The document presented information on the double-slit experiment and its results, which proved the wave theory of light.
