Abstract

Este trabalho compara a teoria apresentada por Christiaan Huygens no Tratado sobre a Luz, no século XVII, com a versão que aparece em alguns livros didáticos de Física para cursos superiores, e estuda a percepção dos alunos acerca do desenvolvimento dessa teoria. As informações veiculadas nesses livros incorporam contribuições posteriores, que levam a uma visão inadequada da evolução dessa teoria e a atribuir ao passado concepções atuais.<br>This paper compares the theory presented by Christiaan Huygens in his Treatise on Light, in the XVII century, with the version that appears in some textbooks of Physics for undergraduate courses, and analysis the perception of students concerning the development of this theory. As a result, we found that the information presented in these books incorporated later contributions, which leads students to an incorrect view of the evolution of this theory and to attribute current conceptions to the past.
