- Contrary to prevailing scientific opinion, Newton felt colours were already present in White light and it was not impurities found in the Prism that gave the Rainbow effect. Subscribe to Earth Science: bit.ly/SubscribeToEarthLab
What set Newton apart from other scientists was that he famously devised and performed an experiment to test his hypothesis.
In Search Of Science Episode 1
Brian Cox is going in search of the best of British science. Introducing his science heroes, Brian visits the places where they made their discoveries, recreating their experiments and examining their legacy to their scientific descendants.
Welcome to BBC Earth Science! Here we answer all your curious questions about science in the world around you. If there’s a question you have that we haven’t yet answered let us know in the comments! - Zábava
Just imagine of what Newton could create with advanced technology...
You are right, yet I think he would also show us new horizons.
Time machine
Tiktok videos?
Advanced gravity
I have always asked myself that question, where would we be is Newton and einstein lived in our time
We live with this stuff today but we take for granted how creative you really have to be to discover this. I never knew this until now, im blown away. Im sad i learned this at age 24
better than at 34
I'm no genius, so there's no way I could have figured this out in a million years. Thanks so much for teaching us about Mr Newton and his discovery about prisms and light, it was really eye opening!
Learning this at high school, and want to make physics more interesting !!!
Yes true instead of Theory of theory :D!!
HIGH SCHOOL?! i’m in 7th grade and I have ti study this. somone kill me please
High school I am in years six jeezum
Vietnamese too ((-:
my sister in 4th grade is studying this and I came here to help her
and you are studying this in high school I-
Proud that sir Brian Cox is here.
That was really cool to go inside the mind of Newton.
Thanks. I finally understand our en sci project 😭
real great!
Two questions :
a) How many individual colours can be produced simply by varying the wavelength of light? White light refracts into 6 or 7 colours. Does that indicate that there are only 6 or 7 wavelengths of light in white light?
b) I believe Newton also experimented by putting thermometers in the different colours, and found that they have different temperatures - but the highest temperatures were in the invisible part beyond red. We now call this infra-red, which is radiated heat - however, this shows that a glass prism refracts more than just the visible spectrum of light. What bandwidth of electromagnetic radiation can be refracted by a glass prism?
For b, I don’t think that was Newton; I believe it was a German scientist who also discovered Uranus.
@@theredstonebuilder1120 Ah, yes - you're _almost_ correct. It wasn't Newton who did it, it was th English Astronomer, William Herschel according to this clip : czcams.com/video/QSF_jiy5Ug4/video.html
Maybe he also discovered Uranus - you might have been confused by the name, of almost certain German origin.
However, I couldn't find an answer to my question - what bandwidth of the radio spectrum can be refracted by glass? Probably, the answer is there, if I wanted to plough through hours of videos and/or online literature, but while I'd like to know, I guess I'm not _that_ keen.
@Wiegraf Indeed. It can be argued that colour doesn't exist outside of the mind. Colour itself is a perception, and as you say, depends on the cones in the retina that sees it, and on the brain that inperprets what it sees. Oh, to be a mantis shrimp!
In fact, re-reading my original question above, I'm embarassed by how poorly I phrased it. It's this - visible light (visible to us) is refracted by a glass prism, but there are wavelengths that we can't see that are also refracted by the prism - UV and Infra red. My question concerned the bandwidth of electromagnetic waves that can be refracted by glass.
@Wiegraf Yeah - it's generally acknowledged - he was an idiot! ;-)
@Wiegraf My *_statement_* about perception may be more important to you, but my question was about what wavelengths can be refracted by glass.
Thanks!!
This experiment looks like it confirms that different coloured lights have different speeds.
Wow!! Thank you!!
Awesome sir
That is some super cool scientific stuff
@Wiegraf Nope. Havent u learn? The rainbow is actually mixed so hard for the human eye to see all together so it appears white, when see throught a prism it Separates the colours and u can see it clearly
The light is made up out of different frequencies and together make up the white light. The colors how ever are made up by are brain the cones in are eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies and signal to the brain. The brain puts a color to a frequency. So it may well be that a other species sees the same frequency as a different color.
@DANCETWEETY WOUld You PLease EXplain The LAST LINE .Please PLease PLease 😳😳😳
Brian Cox
Can the electricity in the spine connected to nerves be reflected like like into a avatar with nerves?
Which light is been used?
i want to know the temperature of the blue, yellow, and red regions every after 2 mins for 10 mins.
It's just light?
The another fact is that the frequency of different wavelengths of light can be experienced by colorbliends !
Newton never ever married during his whole life he once engaged only...
...and?
Does anyone know how the second prism is made? Thanks. Jez
Both are made of glass
If Keanu Reaves and Alex Turner had a child
wow what ligth
I hate this but I have to watch it
Have a goodnight productions ideas. 😊
please study about ibn haithm
Did he figure out the colors of rainbow?
Principle of gravity?
Calculus? Designing a telescope??
dispersion = process of diving white light into various colors
Mix blue green and red colours to get white.
I like how Newton 'shoe-horned' Indigo into the spectrum because he believed that there 'needed' to be eight colours to tie-in with musical Octave...
is that why Channel Eqs have colors? lmaooo
i wonder how genius sir newton could be to observe light in such a magnificent ways . i am standing from my seat in respect of Sir Isaac newton
Then why don't you capitalize his last name?
Accident and observations and conclusions
This is how they saw under the land
noice
Hey
It’s me evie guys heylo
THINK OF A PRISM, WE ARE
THE LIGHT BEFORE IT GETS
SPLIT INTO OTHER PATHS OF
LIGHT EACH ONE WITH ITS
OWN COLOR AND
WAVELENGTH, WHEN YOU SAY I
AND REFER TO YOURSELF
THINK OF I AS GPS

TRYANGULATING YOUR

MENTION I YOU ARE STATING
WHERE YOU ARE, AND ITS
FUNNY HOW WE ALLSHARE
THE SAME GPS LOCATION IN
SPACE, I AM THE CENTER

Are you drunk lol
@@Bloomzyblack no i just woke up and im late, do you know where i put the keys
As in if ur from bollin then hi !
My Yr6 teacher brought me here aka Mrs Walker
Oli is that you
“And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone:
and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”
Ezekiel 1:26-28 KJV
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”
1 John 1:5 KJV
Just sayen!
Civil war..War... and weapons
i'm still unconvinced white light comprises the spectrum - i think it's the interaction of the white light and the prism that creates the spectrum - prove me wrong if you will!
I low-key thought black was the collection of all the lights. like if you scribble all the colors in crayon box
@@Nob0d1KnowsTarot thanks for nothing!
@@PeterPete you're welcome? I was just implying something sorry bruh
If you are doing home schooling👉👉👉👉👉👉👉
that why he is" the father of physics"
Totally missed that was snapping a you dinosaurs head off
???
Tf kind of comment is this.
I have to watch this for homework 😩 😫 😭 😪 and the only thing I liked was cars honking in the backround
James may could take that light rectally and not even full bro

It is a great thing that Newton was not bornt in India
Why do you say that?
...bornt
First
first!
S nim. nice😀
S nim Congratulations! A member of the team will be along shortly with your prize.
Samuel Brooks thx! : )
NOT HIM NOOOOOOOOO
He's got one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard
