RE: The wave-particle duality of photons - physics explained
Newtons idea also describes what you measure when you throw individual photons at a detector. They deposit their energy in one single well defined point.
What I mean to say is Newton's idea of corpuscular light had very less application to the whole of light phenomena.
However because of his reputation as a great scientist, the majority scientific community sticked to his idea for like a century.
The wave nature idea however at the very same time in history explained lot more than the corpuscular theory
