MCQ
Newton postulated his corpuscular theory on the basis of
  • A
    Newton’s rings
  • B
    Colours of thin films
  • Rectilinear propagation of light
  • D
    Dispersion of white light

Answer

Correct option: C.
Rectilinear propagation of light
c
(c)Newton first law of motion states that every particle travels in a straight line with a constant velocity unless disturbed by an external force. So the corpuscles travels in straight lines.
