21. :The lowest possible noise for any sensor is the Poisson noise, caused by the discrete nature of light . 22. Liserl, unmindful of history, prefers to formulate a theory of relativity, to muse over the nature of light . 23. Historically, the double-refraction property of this crystal was important to understanding the nature of light as a wave. 24. And if I find Darkness, then I may have some kind of idea as to the nature of Light ." 25. The wave nature of light limits the size of the spot to which light can be focused due to the diffraction limit. 26. Before World War II, the government established a secret group known as RONOL ( Research on the Nature of Light ). 27. Huygens'groundbreaking research on the nature of light helped lay the foundations of modern optics ( physical optics in particular ). 28. He succeeded in observing the predicted spot, which convinced most scientists of the wave nature of light and gave Fresnel the win. 29. To everyone's surprise he observed the predicted bright spot, which convinced most scientists of the wave-nature of light . 30. The early-to-mid 1800s were a period of intense debate on the particle-versus-wave nature of light .
