white light
 

He found that white light wasn't white! He used a simple but effective projects to discover that a rainbow was inside a sun beam.

He put a prism in front of a sun say and a strip of color appeared. He was tight!!!:D

Oooh!
 

I didn't know he was the one who did that!

yES
 

That was one of the lesser-known experiments that he performed. but it was one of the best.

cool
 

I love the study of light and color. Is there a name for it?

Sir Isaac Newton
 

did the apple fall on his head or just on the ground?

Apples
 

It fell on the ground. People knew about gravity and that it was there, but they didn't knw why. Newton found out how to prove it mathematically. Also, I don't thin there is a set name for the study of light and color.

im sure there is (i don't know what) there has to be, theres a name for someone who is afraid of doorknobs!

WEll
 

We don't actually KNOW that it fell on his head!LOL
