Ptolemy - Light can bend
Was an astronomer who discovered that light beams bend when they go from air to glass. This is called Refraction, which exlpains how beams of light change directions and this is either because it speeds up or ls slown down. This only occurs when light hits a surface of water or glass, which also causes the stars to 'Twinkle' in the sky.

Eulid uses the simple act of a ball boucing off a wall as an example of how the light moves so straight.

Newton - White light can be separated into sevral colours.
Argued the nature of reflection and refraction of light. He introduced the term 'colour spectrum' and divided into the colours of a rainbow. Red, Orange Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and last but not least Violet.

Newton also showed that each colour has a unique angle of refraction.
This only occurs when light bounces off anything that appears as the shade of white
Pythagras - All light travels in straight lines
Best known for the theory of light beams being emitted from our eyes in order to see in colour and/or at all. Almost like a spot light at a concert or preformance, but being everywhere you looked.

This idea led him to think, if the rays from our eyes beamed only on the things straight ahead, that not only was the ray of light straight...but all light travels in straight lines.
Alexander Edmond Bequrel - Light
Was one of the first to discover how electircal energy can be generated from sunlight. So he decided to test it out. He used light striking cirtain objects which causes the substance of that material to emmit electrons. While the light hits other compounds. This combination allows electrons to flow through and create electricity.

"Solar panels can be installed to generate power where it is needed."
Solar panels distribute the suns energy which is now lectricity over long distances to other areas.
