A historical scientific theory, primarily associated with Isaac Newton, proposing that light consists of tiny particles or corpuscles traveling in straight lines. This theory has been superseded by the wave theory and quantum mechanics.

  1. Theory of light as particlesC2formal

    A scientific theory, primarily associated with Isaac Newton, proposing that light consists of tiny particles (corpuscles) emitted by luminous bodies.

    zh微粒说

    • Newton's corpuscular theory explained the rectilinear propagation of light.
    • The corpuscular theory was later challenged by the wave theory of light.
    • Modern quantum mechanics combines aspects of both the corpuscular and wave theories.
