Question

Consider the following statement and choose the correct statement:

A) Newton's Corpuscular theory can explain reflection and refraction of light.

B) Huygen's Wave theory can explain interference and diffraction of light.

• A. A and B are True
• B. A and B are False
• C. A is False, B is True
• D. A is True, B is False

Answer 1

The correct option is A A and B are True

Newton corpuscular theory treats light as composed of particles . Reflection and refraction of light can be explained through particle nature of light.
Huygens wave theory treats light as a wave. Interference and diffraction are best explained by the wave nature of light.

Hence, both A and B are True statements.
