Who discovered the visible light spectrum?

Answer 1

Roger Bacon was the first to realize that the colors he saw through a glass of water came from the sunlight hitting the glass. Four hundred years later (1671) Isaac newton first used the word 'spectrum' in describing his experiments with prisms, and made one of the earliest explanations of the optical spectrum.

Answer 2

The visable light spectrum was discovered by Issac newtonwhere he wrote about it in his books when he wrote his Opticks, and from Goethe, in his Theory of Colours, although earlier observations had been made by Roger Bacon who first recognized the visible spectrum in a glass of water, four centuries before Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light

Answer 3

Isaac Newton discovered the visible spectrum of light while fooling around with a prism (from which is derived the basic principle of a rainbow.) He later wrote about his findings in his well-known book, Optiks. Isaac Newton was also a master of atsronomy, calculus, and physics. It was also he who "discovered" gravity when an apple fell on his head. It is also probable that this experience led him to discover the effect of concussions on dementia. OK, not really about the dementia part.

Answer 4

Sir Isaac Newton is credited with discovering the visible light spectrum by passing sunlight through a glass prism, which resulted in the separation of light into its various colors. This experiment led to the understanding that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors.

Answer 5

Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light is made of many colours.

The rainbow was discovered by Theodoric of Frielburg in the 14th Century.
