Newtons Corpuscular Theory
  1. 1.Light Travels through medium In the form of Extremely small particles called as corpusclesThis are emitted by a source of light in all possible direction of a medium
    1. 2.The Corpuscules are perfectly elastic, rigid and weighteless in nature
      1. 3.In a given mediu, the corpucles travel with constant velocity along a straight line path.They travel with different velociies in different media.
        1. 4.The Corpuscle can enter our eye and strike the retina. Hence we get the sensation of light.
