MCQ
By corpuscular theory of light, the phenomenon which can be explained is ____________.
  • A
    refraction
  • B
    diffraction
  • C
    interference
  • D
    polarisation

Answer

  1. refraction

Explanation:

According to newton, when corpuscles approach the refracting surface, they are attracted near the surface. When they enter the denser medium from a rarer medium, their speed increases and hence change their direction.
