Francesco Maria Grimaldi quotes

Francesco Maria Grimaldi was an Italian physicist and Jesuit known for his pioneering work in optics. His experiments led to the discovery of the diffraction of light, a fundamental phenomenon in physics. He contributed significantly to the understanding of light behavior and influenced later scientists like Newton. Here are 2 of his quotes:

Light propagates and spreads not only directly, through refraction, and reflection, but also by a fourth mode, diffraction. (Francesco Maria Grimaldi)
Occasionally, light added to itself may give obscure surfaces on a body that has already received light. View quote
