The velocity of fight was determined accurately by:
Correct answer: B. Michelson
- A. Newton
- B. Michelson
- C. Huygen
- D. Young
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Michelson. Albert A. Michelson accurately determined the velocity of light using his interferometer, a groundbreaking achievement in the field of optics. While the other scientists mentioned have made significant contributions to optics, they did not accurately determine the velocity of light.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
