There are many scientific models proposed and failed . The orpuscular theory is an example of such case . The corpuscular theory given by Newton was later replaced by Huygen's wave theory of light . This was further replaced by Plank's quantum theory and finally by De-Broglie's hypothesis . Comment on the fact that despite failures in the above in the above theories, we stress on the study of all the above given theories .
