corpuscular theory of light การใช้

• Newton in his " Opticks " of 1704 proposed instead a corpuscular theory of light.
• In 1704, Newton published " Opticks ", in which he expounded his corpuscular theory of light.
• At that time, many favored Isaac Newton's corpuscular theory of light, among them the theoretician Sim閛n Denis Poisson.
• Bradley conceived of an explanation in terms of a corpuscular theory of light in which light is made of particles unaffected by gravity.
• He disagreed with Newton's corpuscular theory of light in the " Opticks ", which was then the prevailing theory.
• Although the German physicist, mathematician, and astronomer Johann Georg von Soldner continued with Newton's corpuscular theory of light as late as 1804, as a group, physicists dropped the idea.
• After that, the corpuscular theory of light was vanquished, not to be heard of again until in a very different form, the 20th century revived it as the newly developed wave-particle duality.
• Around 1900-1910, the atomic theory and the corpuscular theory of light first came to be widely accepted as scientific fact; these latter theories can be viewed as quantum theories of matter and electromagnetic radiation, respectively.
• Bradley explained this effect in the context of Newton's corpuscular theory of light, by showing that the aberration angle was given by simple vector addition of the Earth's orbital velocity and the velocity of the corpuscles of light, just as vertically falling raindrops strike a moving object at an angle.
• Having accepted Newton s corpuscular theory of light, which posited that light consists of minuscule particles, he reasoned that such particles, when emanated by a star, would be slowed down by its gravitational pull, and thought that it might therefore be possible to determine the star's mass based on the reduction in speed.
