Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony and Egyptology. His role in this story was that he reintroduced the idea of light as a wave.

Independently of Young, Fresnel was also reintroducing the idea of light as waves, not particles.
