Newton postulated his corpuscular theory on the basis of
Options
(a) Newton’s Rings
(b) Colours of thin films
(c) Rectilinear propagation of light
(d) Dispersion of white light
Correct Answer:
Rectilinear propagation of light
Explanation:
Newton could not explain Newton’s rings, colors of thin films and dispersion on the basis of corpuscular theory. Rectilinear propagation of light could be explained by Newton.

newton argued that the geometric nature of reflection and refraction of light could only be explained if light was made of particles reffered to a corpuscles beacuse waves do not tend to travel in straight lines
