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 This theory has been superseded by the wave theory and quantum mechanics.

    A scientific theory, primarily associated with Isaac Newton, proposing that light consists of tiny particles or corpuscles that travel in straight lines. This theory was later superseded by the wave theory of light.

    • Newton's corpuscular theory of light explained reflection and refraction using the idea of light particles.
    • The corpuscular theory of light was challenged by experiments on diffraction and interference.
    • Students often compare the corpuscular theory of light with Huygens' wave theory.
