Question

Consider the following statement and choose the correct statement:
A) Newton's Corpuscular theory can explain reflection and refraction of light.
B) Huygen's Wave theory can explain interference and diffraction of light.

  1. A and B are True
  2. A and B are False
  3. A is False, B is True
  4. A is True, B is False

A
A and B are True
B
A is False, B is True
C
A and B are False
D
A is True, B is False
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Newton corpuscular theory treats light as composed of particles . Reflection and refraction of light can be explained through particle nature of light.
Huygens wave theory treats light as a wave. Interference and diffraction are best explained by the wave nature of light.
Hence, both A and B are True statements.
