		Thomas Young was born in Milverton on 13 June 1773 and died in London on 10 May 1829.
		Young’s interest in this was reinforced by some work he had done in the mid-1790s on the transmission of sound, which he came to believe was analogous to light.
		Young’s inability to sustain over time a consistent view of the nature of light and of the aether, together with some vituperative attacks on his work by Henry Brougham, contributed to his theoretical work’s getting little attention, though the principle of interference was viewed widely as an important discovery.

		In 1793, Young recognized that focusing of the eye (accommodation) is achieved by a change of shape in the lens of the eye, the lens being composed of muscle fibres.
		Young assumed that light waves are propagated in a similar way to sound waves, and proposed that different colours consist of different frequencies.
		In mechanics, Young was the first to use the terms 'energy' for the product of the mass of a body with the square of its velocity and 'labour expended' for the product of the force exerted on a body 'with the distance through which it moved'.

		Thomas Young was an English physician and physicist, with a brilliant mind and eclectic interests.
		His famous double-slit experiment established that light was a wave motion, although this conclusion was strongly opposed by contemporary scientists who believed that Newton, who had proposed that light was corpuscular in nature, could not possibly be wrong.
		He did work in surface tension, elasticity (Young's modulus, a measure of the rigidity of materials, is named after him), and gave one of the earliest scientific definitions of energy.
