Definition corpuscular theory

Answer 1

Corpuscular theory predicted that if the ray of light (refraction) bends towards the normal then the speed of the light would be greater in the second medium. But the experiment of Foucault proved that, on refraction if the light bends towards the normal, then the speed of light will be lesser in second medium. Thus the corpuscular theory did not satisfactorily explained refraction.

๛ The ‘Corpuscular theory of light' was proposed by Newton in 1704 and it is often referred to as "particle theory" or "Newton’s theory of light."

๛ According to the theory:

• Light is made up of tiny particles called ‘corpuscles’ having negligible mass.
• These particles (corpuscles) are perfectly elastic.
• The corpuscles are emitted from the luminous sources such as Sun, candle, electric lamp etc.
• The tiny particles (corpuscles) always travel in a straight line in all directions.
• Each particle (corpuscle) carries kinetic energy with it while moving.
• The corpuscles travel at high velocity.
• The corpuscles (light) would travel faster in the denser medium than in rarer medium. But later this was proven wrong. Now, we know that light travels faster in the rarer medium than in denser medium.
• When the particles (corpuscles) fall on the retina of the eye, they produce an image of the object or sensation of vision.
• The corpuscles can be of different sizes.
• The different colors of light are due to the different sizes of the corpuscles.
