Sir Isaac Newton, held the theory that light was made up of tiny particles<span>. In 1678, Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, believed that light was made up of </span>waves<span>vibrating up and down </span>perpendicular<span> to the direction of the light travels, and therefore formulated a way of visualising wave propagation.</span>

Answer:

PARTICLE

Explanation:

As per the theory proposed by the Newton for the propagation of light he assumed that light is made up of PARTICLEs

He said that light is made up of small rigid particles which behaves elastically. When light shows reflection then this is an example of 100% elastic collision where these particles will strike the surface and rebound with same speed at same angle with the normal

So this theory explains the propagation of light in particle form and hence this theory was known as particle theory of light

So as per Newton's explanation light is made up of PARTICLES

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

  • Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
  • Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
  • Observation of the  landscapes
  • Close observation of outcrops
