Question

Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.

$\left(A\right)$ Newton's corpuscular theory can explain reflection and refraction of light.

$\left(B\right)$ Huygen's wave theory can explain interference and diffraction of light.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A $A$ and $B$ are true.

Newton's corpuscular theory treats light as composed of particles .

Reflection and refraction of light can be explained through particle nature of light.

Huygen's wave theory treats light as a wave.

Interference and diffraction are best explained by the wave nature of light.

Hence, option $\left(A\right)$ is the correct answer.
