According to Isaac newton, initially the earth was a fluid body. However the rotation of the earth discards the possibility of it being spherical in shape. He concluded that the earth must have flattened poles that are caused due to the centrifugal force of rotation.

Why cornu's fringes are hyperbolic and newtons rings are circular?

Cornu's fringes are hyperbolic because they are formed due to the interference of light waves that are not perfectly spherical when they meet at an angle. Newton's rings are circular because they are formed by the interference of light waves that are spherical in shape due to reflection between a flat glass surface and a convex lens.

What is newton ring?

Newton's rings is a phenomenon when an interference pattern is created by the reflection of light between two surfaces. The surfaces are a spherical surface and an adjacent flat surface.


Why isn't the world in a square?

Because God felt like making the world spherical. Besides if it were shaped like a cube gravity would be different everywhere and Newton would be at a loss.


How did newton reason that there must be a force acting of a planet?

This can be derived from Neton's Second Law. Therefore, he may have reasoned that a force is required to accelerate a mass.


Why did Sir Newton conclude that the prism was not the source of colors?

Sir Isaac Newton concluded that the prism was not the source of colors because he observed that white light could be separated into its component colors when passed through a prism, indicating that the prism was only causing the separation of colors already present in the light. He reasoned that white light must be a mixture of different colors.
