CHAPTER # 15
Q.1: What is Newton’s corpuscular theory of light?
Ans:
This theory which was proposed by Newton is given briefly as under:
- Light consists of tiny (minute) particles called corpuscles.
- These corpuscles are emitted from a source of light (like the sun).
- These corpuscles are traveled in a straight line.
- When these particles enter the eyes, they create the sensation of sight.
- Velocity of light in a denser medium is greater.
