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.
