These particles or the corpuscles maves with high velocity as that of light and gets scattered inal diectons of ight. This 'sony says thatthe velocity of light changes with the ehaige in density af dhe median in whic iis se This theory could explain three main phenomena of igh tat is reflection, setrction, end vectlinear Propagation of ight. This theory also says tha the color af ight is dependent on the size othe sorpuscles, Drawbacks 1) This theory could not explain the phenomens of inference diffinction. and poettation of 2) According 0 this theory the velocity of light in densev medium i greater than the velocity of ht in ‘rer mediums bu this is proved weong later. 3) This theory assumes that the source of light loses the mas us it emits corpuscles; but not such determent in mass ofthe source af ight is detected 4) Tis theory proposes thut velocity ofthe corpuscles inereasos asthe temperature ofthe source insteases| 1s the temperature inereases experiments have proved thatthe velocity of light i independent of temperature Huygen's wave theory ‘The locus of all medium particles vibrating in the sume phase is called « wave fiat. Each point ina source of ight sends out waves in all directions in hypothetical mediwi Caled ether, Faber was assumed {o be 2 coatinuoys medium, which provides all space having very large elastictycand eatrenely low ‘hich is homogeneaus and isotropic. This theory assumes that the light waves are mechanical ‘and transverse in nature. This theory is successful in explaining the phenomena of reNection, refraction interterence and diffraction phenoniena of light. This theory also assumes in stilt the previous theory that the velocity of light is dapendent on the density ofthe medium but color depends onthe wavelengths of the fight. Drawbacie 1) Thee is no existence ofa medium ‘eter 2)1 falls explaio polarization, photoelectric elect end Compton effet 3) I fils to explain why tight has n0 longitudinal component.
