1 Christian Huygens, a contemporary of Newton established the wave theory of light by assuming that light waves were transverse
2 Maxwell provided the compelling theoretical evidence that light is transverse wave
3 Thomas Young experimentally proved the wave behaviour of light and Huygens assumption
4 All the statements give above, correctly answer the question "what is light?"
Explanation:
: In Maxwell's theory of light, he stated that light is a transverse wave and conducted multiple experiments to prove so. So, Maxwell's provided the compelling theoretical evidence that light is transverse wave is right option.

Which of the following statements is not true about the secondary wavelets proposed by Huygens?
1 Secondary wavelets emerge from every point of a wavefront.
2 Frequency of secondary wavelets is same as that of primary wave.
3 Velocity of secondary wavelets is same as the velocity of primary wave.
4 Secondary wavelets are plane waves.
Explanation:
: Secondary wavelets are plane only when the source is extended and large with linear source, the wave front is cylindrical, with point source, the wave front is spherical.

The wave theory of light was given by
1 Maxwell
2 Planck
3 Huygen
4 Young
Explanation:

Light travels faster in air than in glass according to
1 wave theory of light
2 corpuscular theory of light
3 both (a) and (b)
4 neither (a) nor (b)
Explanation:
: Light travels faster in air than in glass according to wave theory of light. That means for a given geometrical distance in glass there will be more waves of light than in same distance in air.
