查询词典 corpuscular theory

In optics we have to decide in favour of the wave theory against the corpuscular theory of light.

在光学中我们赞成光的波动说，而反对光的微粒说。

Nevertheless, if such an experiment could be devised it would be crucial in deciding between the wave theory and the corpuscular theory of light.

可是，如果能想出这样一个实验，就能对光的波动说和微粒说下一个判决性的结论了。

We have seen that the corpuscular theory explains many of the observed facts. Is the wave theory also able to do this?

我们已经知道微粒说解释了许多已观察到的现象，光的波动说也能做到这一点吗？

It still remains to be shown how the wave theory explains the refraction of light and the variety of colours. The corpuscular theory is capable of this, as we know.

我们还需要说明光的波动说怎样去解释光的折射和色的多样性，我们知道光的微粒说能够作出这种解释。

We must again ask the questions which have already been answered by the corpuscular theory, to see whether the wave theory can do the answering just as well.

我们必须把微粒说已经回答了的问题再问一遍，看光的波动说是否也能回答得同样好。

Until it is definitely proved by experiment that light may be bent, I do not see any reason for not believing in the corpuscular theory, which seems to me to be simpler, and therefore better, than the wave theory.

除非用实验确实证明了光会弯曲，我看不出有什么理由不相信微粒说。这个学说，在我看来比波动说简单，因而也就较好。

Thus we see that not only the corpuscular theory, but also the wave theory, leads to an explanation of refraction.

由此可见，不仅光的微粒说，而且光的波动说也可以解释折射。

We shall do this here in the form of a dialogue between N and HH, where N is a believer in Newton's corpuscular theory, and H in Huygen's theory.

我们试采用谈话的方式，谈话的一方是牛顿学说的信奉者，简称为"N"；另一方是惠更斯学说的信奉者，简称为"H"。

Descartes and Fermat were both proponents of a corpuscular theory; Huygens'believed in a wave theory.

笛卡尔和 Fermat 都是微粒子学说理论的支持者； Huygens 相信波动说。

I should like to see how your theory, even if we waive the difficulties, explains those phenomena which are so clear and understandable in the light of the corpuscular theory. Take, for example, the fact that light rays travel in vacuo or in air along straight lines.

即使我们撇开那些困难，我还想知道你的理论如何去解释那些被微粒说解释得很明白而容易理解的现象，例如光线沿直线在"真空"或空气中通过的情况。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
