The Color Spectrum                                                                                                                                                                          (The above picture was taken from http://www.juliantrubin.com/bigten/lightexperiments.html)      Newton devised an interesting experiment to decipher the colors that make up light. He drilled a small hole and directed light into a prism. The spectrum was then projected on the wall, with red being the least and violet being the most of the seven colors.            Newton then placed another prism several yards away from the first and let the light refract through the first prism and into the second, to see if the color spectrum would be the same as his first experiment, which it was.2 Newton drew from this that light is made of small corpuscles and that other matter is made up of large corpuscles.1     This thus proved that white light is made of all the colors of the spectrum. Showing that these angles of color could be measured, and that there could be a new law of refraction generated, proving that nature operates on mathematical principles.2
