Huygens wave theory is used

Huygens's wave theory could explain

State the postulates of Huygens' wave theory.

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 .

The main drawback of huygen's theory was-

State the theory of Biogenesis.

Which of the following prediction of corpuscular theory was proved wrong by Huygens' wave model ?
