Explanation:

corpuscular theory-

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

wave theory-

The Wave Theory of Light. The wave theory of light was the way we first understood light. The theory was spread most significantly by Robert Hooke and Christiaan Huygens in the 17th century. They predicted that if light was a wave, we would see certain things.
