  Newton's corpuscular theory was an elaboration of his view of reality as interactions of material points through forces. Note Albert Einstein description of Newton's conception of physical reality: Newton's physical reality is characterised by concepts of space， time， the material point and force (interaction between material points). Physical events are to be thought of as movements according to law of material points in space. The material point is the only representative of reality in so far as it is subject to change. The concept of the material point is obviously due to observable bodies; one conceived of the material point on the analogy of movable bodies by omitting characteristics of extension， form， spatial locality， and all their 'inner' qualities， retaining only inertia， translation， and the additional concept of force. In physics， the photon is the elementary particle responsible for electromagnetic phenomena. It is the carrier of electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths， including gamma rays， X-rays， ultraviolet light， visible light， infrared light， microwaves， and radio waves. The photon differs from many other elementary particles， such as the electron and the quark， in that it has zero rest mass;[3] therefore， it travels (in a vacuum) at the speed of light， c. Like all quanta， the photon has both wave and particle properties (“wave–particle duality”). Photons show wave-like phenomena， such as refraction by a lens and destructive interference when reflected waves cancel each other out; however， as a particle， it can only interact with matter by transferring the amount of energy where h is Planck's constant， c is the speed of light， and λ is its wavelength. This is different from a classical wave， which may gain or lose arbitrary amounts of energy. For visible light the energy carried by a single photon is around 4×10–19 joules; this energy is just sufficient to excite a single molecule in a photoreceptor cell of an eye， thus contributing to vision.[4] Apart from having energy， a photon also carries momentum and has a polarization. It follows the laws of quantum mechanics， which means that often these properties do not have a well-defined value for a given photon. Rather， they are defined as a probability to measure a certain polarization， position， or momentum. For example， although a photon can excite a single molecule， it is often impossible to predict beforehand which molecule will be excited. The above description of a photon as a carrier of electromagnetic radiation is commonly used by physicists. However， in theoretical physics， a photon can be considered as a mediator for any type of electromagnetic interactions， including magnetic fields and electrostatic repulsion between like charges. The modern concept of the photon was developed gradually (1905–17) by Albert Einstein[5][6][7][8] to explain experimental observations that did not fit the classical wave model of light. In particular， the photon model accounted for the frequency dependence of light's energy， and explained the ability of matter and radiation to be in thermal equilibrium. Other physicists sought to explain these anomalous observations by semiclassical models， in which light is still described by Maxwell's equations， but the material objects that emit and absorb light are quantized. Although these semiclassical models contributed to the development of quantum mechanics， further experiments proved Einstein's hypothesis that light itself is quantized; the quanta of light are photons. The photon concept has led to momentous advances in experimental and theoretical physics， such as lasers， Bose–Einstein condensation， quantum field theory， and the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics. According to the Standard Model of particle physics， photons are responsible for producing all electric and magnetic fields， and are themselves the product of requiring that physical laws have a certain symmetry at every point in spacetime. The intrinsic properties of photons—such as charge， mass and spin—are determined by the properties of this gauge symmetry. The concept of photons is applied to many areas such as photochemistry， high-resolution microscopy， and measurements of molecular distances. Recently， photons have been studied as elements of quantum computers and for sophisticated applications in optical communication such as quantum cryptography. 牛顿的微粒说和爱因斯坦的光子说都是为了解释光的现象，牛顿把光看作一个个微粒小球，遇到平面就会反弹，但这却解释不了传播能量的问题，而光子说就弥补了这点，爱因斯坦把光看成光是一份一份的能量，具有动能和势能

  牛顿的微粒说和爱因斯坦的光子说都是为了解释光的现象，牛顿把光看作一个个微粒小球，遇到平面就会反弹，但这却解释不了传播能量的问题，而光子说就弥补了这点，爱因斯坦把光看成光是一份一份的能量，具有动能和势能

  牛顿的微粒说，把光看成是宏观意义上的微粒，他解释光直线传播，与宏观物体一样，受力为0，作匀速直线运动。解释反射，光微粒在碰撞到界面，获得冲量而改变运动方向。 爱因斯坦发现光电效应，按传统的波动理论，波德能量由振幅决定，与频率无关，可是光电效应表明，光的能量与频率有关，与振幅无关。于是爱因斯坦提出光子说，其认为光子能量E=hv，其中的v是指光的频率，这就埋下波粒二象性的根源。后来发现氢原子特征光谱不连续，说明光的粒子性。爱因斯坦把光看成光是一份一份的能量，具有动能和势能。 区别：微粒说把光看成一种微粒，无法解释光线并不是永远走直线，而是可以绕过障碍物的边缘拐弯传播等现象。光子说可以把光看成能量具有动能和势能，可以解释以上问题。
