Solution
The correct option is D Refraction
Newton’s corpuscular theory proposes that light is a stream of a large number of particles known as corpuscles. This theory was able to explain refraction and reflection but could not explain interference, polarisation nor diffraction as these phenomena are related to the wave nature of light.
