Question

(A) : Newton's corpuscular theory of light could not explain refraction of light.

(B) : Huygen's wave theory fails to explain polarization property of light.

• A. A is true B is false
• B. A is false B is true
• C. Both A and B are true
• D. Both A and B are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B A is false B is true

Newton's corpuscular theory of light can explain the refraction of light assuming particles of denser medium,strongly attract the particles of light causing a bending at the surface.
Huygen's waves theory fails to explain polarization property of light because according to him light is longitudinal waves, which does not shows polarization.
