Question

question 11 (5 points)listenin sir isaac newtons time in the early 1700s, what was the general consensus among scientists on the properties of light?light requires a medium for self-propagation and cant pass through a vacuum.light represents the release of electrons when energy is applied to an object.light is composed of particles and travels in a straight line.light travels in waves and can, as a result, bend slightly around obstructions.

Explanation:

In the early 1700s, Newton's corpuscular (particle) theory of light dominated scientific consensus. He proposed light was made of tiny particles that traveled in straight lines, which aligned with observed phenomena like reflection and refraction at the time. The wave theory of light gained more traction later, the medium requirement was tied to later "luminiferous aether" ideas, and the electron release description is the photoelectric effect, discovered much later.

Answer:

Light is composed of particles and travels in a straight line.
