Light is made of particles because it travels only in a straight path.
Newton's prism and reflection/refraction observations led him to the corpuscular (particle) theory: he argued that light consists of particles (corpuscles) with different properties for different colors. (Later experiments, e.g. Young’s double-slit, supported the wave nature of light.)
