What is Newton's color wheel?

It is a disc that is divided into coloured segments. It can have three segments, each shaded with one of the primary colours red, green and blue, or it can be divided into seven segments shaded with the colours of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When you spin the disc rapidly the colours merge to give the appearance of white light. It shows that what we see as white is in fact a combination of all colours.

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist and chemist whose many important contributions to science (and discoveries) laid down the foundation for much of the progress in science as we know it. He was a co-inventor of calculus; he unraveled the mysteries of light and optics; he formulated the three laws of motion, deriving from them the law of universal gravitation.

How many Spartans were there for every helot?

Each Spartan citizen was allotted the produce of seven helots to support them. They also took seven helots to war for each Spartan warrior - these acted as light infantry, and at the same time reduced the threat of a helot uprising at home while the Spartans were away. At the battle of Plataea in 479 BCE, there were 5,000 Spartan hoplites (armoured warriors) and 35,000 helot light infantry.

What are primary colors of light?

This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
