Question
By corpuscular theory of light, the phenomenon which can be explained is ____________.

Answer

  1. refraction
Explanation:
According to newton, when corpuscles approach the refracting surface, they are attracted near the surface. When they enter the denser medium from a rarer medium, their speed increases and hence change their direction.
