Theories of Light - CBSE Class 12
Module 1: Newton’s Corpuscular Theory Newton’s corpuscular theory suggests that light consists of tiny particles (corpuscles) emitted by a luminous source. These particles travel in straight lines and obey the laws of reflection and refraction. The theory explains phenomena such as rectilinear propagation, reflection, and refraction but fails to explain diffraction and interference.
1. According to Newton’s theory, light consists of:
2. Which phenomenon cannot be explained by Newton’s theory?
3. What is the main limitation of Newton's theory?
4. Newton's theory explains:
5. Which of these was successfully explained by Newton’s corpuscular theory?
