According to Newton's corpuscular theory, the speed of light is
- A same in all the media
- B lesser in rarer medium
- C lesser in denser medium
- D independent of the medium
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) lesser in rarer medium
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Newton's corpuscular theory, speed of light in a rarer medium (like air) is lesser than that in a denser medium (like water, glass).
