A

same in all the media

B

lesser in rarer medium

C

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to Newton's corpuscular theory, the speed of the light in a denser medium like water or glass is greater than that in a rarer medium like air. In other words, according to Newton's corpuscular theory, the speed of light is lesser in rarer medium.
