Difference between corpuscular and wave theory
|
Corpuscular theory |
Wave theory |
| · According to this theory light consists of small particles called corpuscular.
· Light particles travel with the velocity of light in the straight line. · Light travels with faster velocity in the denser medium. |
· According to wave theory light is a form of energy because it travels in the form of a wave.
· Waves travel with the velocity of light but not in the straight line. · Light travels with slow velocity in the denser medium. |
