Q.1. State the postulates
corpuscular theory.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Every source of light emits large number of tiny particles known as ‘corpuscles’ in a medium surrounding the source. These corpuscles are perfectly elastic, rigid and weightless. The corpuscles travel in a straight line with very high speeds which are different in different media.One gets a sensation of light when the corpuscles fall on the retina. Different colours of light are due to different sizes of corpuscles
