AIsaac Newton
BChristiaan Huygens
CAlbert Einstein
DJames Clerk Maxwell
Answer:
A. Isaac Newton
Read Explanation:
The Corpuscular theory of light was given by Isaac Newton. It was replaced by Huygens’ wave theory when it failed to adequately explain the diffraction, interference and polarization of light. The Huygens’ wave theory was replaced by Planck’s quantum theory and finally de-Broglie’s Dual-Theory of light replaced all previous ones.
