Huygens studied many things in physics. He studied the laws of motion, some of which was modified and used to formulate parts of Newton's 3 laws. He studied astronomy and described Saturn as having one solid ring. He 'found' the moon, Titan, around Saturn. He studied a nebula and using his refracting telescope found that it was many stars close together and far away so they looked 'for like'. He studied time, as measured by clocks. Made the first accurate pendulum clock. He made the first 'watch' that used a spring to keep time and received a patent for it as a pocket watch.

Christian huygens contribution in the field of physics?

a.) Wave Theory of Light b.) Pendulum Clock a.1) In 1678 the great Dutch physicist Christian Huygens (1629-1695) wrote a treatise called Traite de la Lumiere on the wave theory of light, and in this work he stated that the wavefront of a propagating wave of light at any instant conforms to the envelope of spherical wavelets emanating from every point on the wavefront at the prior instant (with the understanding that the wavelets have the same speed as the overall wave) b.1) •He invented the pendulum clock that descends new improvements in some new inventions right now like our mechanical clocks,etc. Hope it Helps! :)
