Answer 1

Christian Huygens

Step-by-step explanation:

Huygens was the first person to study the polarization of light. He is best known for formulating and developing the wave theory of light. He coined the word ether (this was the medium in which light waves were assumed to travel). He was the first to use a pendulum to regulate clocks and was the inventor of the micrometer, used to measure extremely small distances.

Answer 2

Christiaan Huygens

Step-by-step explanation:

"In his Traité de la Lumière (1690; “Treatise on Light”), the Dutch mathematician-astronomer Christiaan Huygens formulated the first detailed wave theory of light, in the context of which he was also able to derive the laws of reflection and refraction." -Britannica/Google.
