SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S THEORY ABOUT THE RAYS OF LIGHT
The diagram from Sir Isaac Newton’s
crucial experiment, 1666-72. A ray of
light is divided into its constituent
colors by the first prism (left), and the
resulting bundle of colred rays is
reconstituted into white light by the
second.
Our modern understanding of light and
color begins with Isaac Newton
(1642-1726) and a series of experiments
that he publishes in 1672. He is the first
to understand the rainbow — he
refracts white light with a prism,
resolving it into its component colors:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue and
violet.
