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

Answer

Correct option: A.
refraction

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.

Imagine a world where free magnetic charges exist. In this world, a circuit is made with a $U$-shape wire and a rod free to slide on it. A current carried by free magnetic charges can flow in the circuit.
