Emission theory (relativity)

ID: emission-theory-relativity

Emission theory, in the context of relativity, is a concept related to the way light is emitted and propagated. It contrasts with other models of light propagation, such as the wave theory and the particle theory. Emission theory posits that light is emitted by sources (like stars or light bulbs) as discrete particles or waves, and these emissions travel through space.
