Newton did not believe that light acted like waves, but like small particles which he called corpuscles ( not like blood cells).
An example ... shoot a shotgun toward an open window with a large piece of carbboard outside. Shoot many times to get many 'particles' to hit the cardboard. There should be a discernable figure of the window. Now shine light thru the window and the same pattern shows up on the cardboard. He thought that this proved that light was mado of millions and millions of small particles,

Enumerate the theories of nature of light?
newton corpuscular theory,huygen wave theory,maxwell electromagnetic theory and planck quantum theory
When Einsteins theory of gravity general relativity gained acceptance it demonstrated that Newtons theory had been?
Incomplete
What things did Sir Isaac Newton work on?
A telescope that you can make out the colors clear. He also worked on light theory and the 3 laws of motion.
Which mathematical genius gave laws which paved the way newtons gravitational theory?
Johannes Kepler
What two things did newtons prism experiment prove?
That light was made up of the colors of the spectrum and that light could be bent.

Who proposed corpuscular theory?
isaacc newton
What is length of photon?
Photon do not exist in reality. Newton's Corpuscular Theory of light ASSUMES an imaginary particle PHOTON to explain various phenomena of light.
By the end of what year had Sir Isaac Newton wroked out the corpuscular or emission theory of how the effects of light are really produced?
1894
What are thee different theories of light?
Newton's corpuscular theory Huygen's mechanical wave theory Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory Finally Planck's quantum theory LIght as a single "photon" acts somewhat differently than a wave (of energy).
Is the scientific theory always correct?
Not always it may go wrong sometimes. In case of newton's corpuscular theory of light it was proved wrong as the light speed is found experimentally to be less in denser compared to that in rarer medium. According to his corpuscular concept, he declared that the speed of light will be more in denser than that in rarer. Same way newton's absolute time and absolute space concept were found to be invalid.
What were the early beliefs of how light works?
Early beliefs about light included the idea that it was emitted from the eyes to illuminate objects, as well as the concept of the corpuscular theory, which suggested that light was made up of tiny particles. Later, the wave theory of light emerged, proposing that light behaves as a wave.
