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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
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).
