Get yourself a few good books e.g. Jackson Electro-Dynamics, Born & Wolf
Principles of Optics etc.
If you are really curious study the multivolume Handbuch der Physik the old
and new editions.
These can be found in a good university library, maybe not the old edition
in Germany as many such libraries there have been incinerated during WW II.
The references are old because such matters have dealt with a long time ago.
As to the professors who doubt the classical theory... Never mind.
Hope my suggestions will help you, particularly the first two sentences.
Please heed my advice as this is the only one you will get from me since you
just graduated to my kill file.
Congratulations and Good Luck.
