Opticks: or, A treatise of the reflections, refractions, inflexions and colours of light
148. After his first publication in optics (see Herald 144), Newton continued
to study optics, and finally in 1704 he published this collection of his
studies. In this book he discusses many phenomena including the colors that
make up white light, the phenomena now called "Newton's Rings," and an
explanation of double refraction to try and give him priority over Huygens's
explanation.
