About The Book:
Opticks is one of the great classics of physical science, offering a comprehensive survey of eighteenth-century knowledge about light and its many aspects. Written by Sir Isaac Newton, this remarkable work is not only a historical landmark but also surprisingly modern in its scientific perspectives.
In accessible language that is easy for lay readers to follow, Newton delves into his groundbreaking experiments with spectroscopy, colors, lenses, and the reflection and diffraction of light. The book is divided into three parts:
-
Book I focuses on Newton's fundamental experiments with the spectrum of light.
-
Book II examines the fascinating phenomena of rings formed by light.
-
Book III explores diffraction, a concept crucial to the understanding of light's behavior.
The work concludes with the Queries—a set of Newton’s speculative thoughts concerning light and its connection to gravitation, pushing the boundaries of science even further.
Opticks is highly regarded for its significant contributions to the understanding of light and remains an essential text in the history of physics. With a foreword by Albert Einstein, this edition provides a timeless and valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of light and physical science
