Title page of 'Opticksa' (1704) by English physicist, mathematician and astronomer Isaac Newton (1643-1727). This work was based on Newton's own experimental investigations into the behaviour of light. In Opticks he discussed topics such as the refraction of light by prisms and the rings of coloured light formed between a lens and a mirror in contact with each other (later termed Newton's rings). | |
