Solution

The correct option is B Different
Newton's corpuscular theory of light demonstrated light as a stream of large numbers of tiny particles called corpuscles. Every luminous source like the sun or candle emit corpuscles which moves with the speed of light. The corpuscles of different colours have different sizes. Red corpuscles are larger than blue corpuscles.
