Question 14 • 26-27 LISD TX-Physics B-CR (rev. 5/25)

Which idea did Isaac Newton’s experiments with light support?

Answer
A
Light is produced by the interaction of magnetic and electric fields.
B
Light is a wave because it has properties that are similar to radio waves.
C
Light is made of particles because it travels only in a straight path.
D
Light is a wave because it bends around barriers.

Explanation

Newton’s experiments with prisms showed that white light is made up of different colors, and he explained light as a stream of tiny particles. This supports the idea that light is made of particles. The other choices describe later wave or electromagnetic explanations, not Newton’s conclusion.
