Newton proposed that light consists of little masses. This means that a horizontal beam of light near the earth is undergoing projectile motion, and forms a parabola. The straight line we observe is due to the fact that the speed of the particles is so great. In one microsecond, light travels 300 m.
In the 1660s, English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton began a series of experiments with sunlight and prisms. He demonstrated that clear white light was composed of seven visible colors.
Isaac Newton Light and Colours the image, and diameter of the hole through which the light was transmitted was proportional to the distance between them; and that was enough for my purpose, ·because it showed that the light was moving along straight lines·. ·THE CRUCIAL EXPERIMENT· The successive failure of those suspicions eventually led
The light seemed something ordinary and at the same time something very mysterious, magical. According to today’s criteria, a truly scienti c approach to the nature of light was initiated about 350 years ago by two great scholars - the Englishman Isaac Newton and the Dutchman Christian Huygens. By then, three rmly established facts about ...

This letter of 6 February 1672 is the first publication of Newton’s discoveries concerning the decomposition of white light by a prism and the theory of colours he developed on this basis. Thus Newton sets up his experiment and his theory of light and colours.
