IN 1678 NEWTON THAT SCIENTIST WHO DISCOVERED GRAVITY FROM THE APPLE FALL FROM THE TREE AND HE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER THEORIES.
ACCORDING TO THIS THEORY OF LIGHT, LIGHT CONSISTS OF TINY PARTICLES KNOWN AS CORPUSCLES WHICH ARE SHOT OUT BY A LUMINOUS BODY GIVING OUT LIGHT.THESE CORPUSCLES TRAVEL IN STRAIGHT LINES WITH HIGH SPEEDS. WHEN THESE CORPUSCLES ARE INCIDENT ON THE RETINA, THEY PRODUCE SENSATION OF SIGHT. BIGGER CORPUSCLES PRODUCE MORE SENSATION, WHILE SMALLER CORPUSCLES PRODUCE LESSER SENSATION.
CORPUSCULAR THEORY OF LIGHT SUCCESFULLY EXPLAINED THE PHENOMENA SUCH AS RECTILINEAR PROPAGATION OF LIGHT, IMAGE FORMATION BY OBJECTS AND REFLECTION. HOWEVER, CORPUSCULAR THEORY FAILS TO EXPLAIN THE PHENOMENA SUCH AS INTERFERENCE, DIFFRACTION, AND POLARIZATION, COLOUR OF THIN FILMS AND SIMULTANEOUS RELECTION AND REFRACTION. HENCE THE CORPUSCULAR THEORY OF NEWTON WAS DISCARDED AS AN INCOMPLETE AND IN ACCURATE THEORY.
SO THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE NEWTONS CARPUSCULAR THEORY AND HENCE IT IS GIVING THE EXPLANATION OF LIGHT IN THE FORM OF A PARTICLE AND HENCE THE LIGHT IS NOT AS A SINGLE PARTICLE AND IT CONTAINS ONE MORE NATURE OF LIGHT THAT IS WAVE NATURE OF LIGHT AND HENCE THE NEWTONS CORPUSCULAR THEORY OF LIGHT WAS DISCARDED AND HENCE THE NEWTONS CORPUSCULAR THEORY OF LIGHT WAS AGAIN REDISCOVERED BY SOME OTHER SCIENTIST.
