faulty Interpretation of the facts. He
gave his name and powerful authority
to the corpuscular theory Of light. In
Sir Isaac's view, the phenomenon Of
luminosity lie produced by corpuscles-
exceedingly minute particles Of matter
which are projected continuously
from the sun, stars and all other lumi.
nous bodies. But his corpuscles failed
to elucidate all the appearances. and
Sir Isaac's theory was finally deposed
by an explanation which referred light
to undulatory vibrations in the ether.
