State the postulates of Newton's corpuscular theory !!!
Hello dear friends,
here we go to learn and know about the postulates of Newton's corpuscular theory.
So what are we waiting for ?
Let's explore this concept !!!
i) Every source of light energy emits large number of tiny particles is called as or known as 'corpuscles' in a medium surrounding the source.
ii) These tiny particles emitted by source of light are perfectly elastic, rigid, and weightless.
iii) The tiny particles which are emitted by source of light is travel in a straight line with very
high speed and the speed is vary according to different in different media or we can say path.
iv) One gets a sensation of light, when the corpuscles fall on the retina of eye.
v) The different colours of light are because of different sizes of corpuscles.
Explanation: i) So in the first paragraph, the Postulates of Newton's corpuscular theory want to tell us that, in our environment or in our surrounding every source of light energy emits large number to tiny particles.
Let's say in our planet Earth, the only one source of light energy is sun.
Have you imagine this, how much of tiny particles come out from the sun.
No idea ?
Here the answer is, the sun is a one type source of light energy.
Which means it's emits large number of particles.
You might be ask that, we doesn't seen any tiny particles.
Yes of course we admit it.
You not able to see the tiny particle but you can see the rays of the sun in the early morning.
ii) In the second paragraph, they want to tell us that, these
tiny particles are in perfectly in elastic, rigid and weightless form.
Elastic means stretchable.
Rigid means toughness.
Weightless mean No weight of these tiny particles.
iii) In the third paragraph, they want to tell that, these light tiny particles travel in a straight line with very high speed. And one thing also make in this is, the speed of tiny or smallest particles are different in different in media or in path.
iv) In the fourth paragraph, they want to tell us that, when these tiny particles fall on the retina of our eye than we get sensation therefore our eye automatically close.
v) And in the last paragraph they want to tell us that, the different different colours of light is all possible because of different sizes of corpuscles.
So we hope you understand this concept in easy and simply way.
