newton's experiments on light
Newton's experiments on light refer to the series of scientific investigations carried out by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 17th century. These experiments aimed to understand the behavior of light and led to the development of Newton's theory that light is composed of particles called "corpuscles" rather than waves.
