In optics‚ corpuscular theory of light‚ originally set forward by Pierre Gassendi‚ states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" (little particles) which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess kinetic energy. It was largely developed by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton’s theory remained in force for more than 100 years and took precedence overHuygens’ wave front theory‚ partly because of Newton’s great prestige. However when the corpuscular theory failed

LIGHT EMITTING DIODES Light Emitting Diodes are electronic components that use the flow of electrons to excite materials into emitting photons of light. A diode is a basic electronic component that allows electricity to flow one way only. The discovery of "light emitting" diodes we believe was an accident sometime around 1907 when a diode in an early radio transmitter was noticed to glow when in use. Incandescent bulbs use resistance in a filament to impede the flow of electricity‚ heating
