Basariyaat (Opticks)
Isaac Newton’s Opticks is a groundbreaking scientific work exploring the nature of light and vision. In it, Newton presents his theory that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors, which can be separated by a prism and recombined. He investigates reflection, refraction, and diffraction, and introduces the concept of “corpuscular” light particles. The book also addresses the colors of thin films, telescopic improvements, and the behavior of lenses and mirrors. Written in clear, experimental style, Opticks shaped modern physics and optics, laying foundations for both theoretical and applied sciences while inspiring centuries of research on light.
