Question

Which scientist first discovered that white light is a mixture of a rainbow spectrum of light rays?

Answer 1

Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Isaac Newton (1642-1726) and a series of experiments that he publishes in 1672. He is the first to understand the rainbow — he refracts white light with a prism, resolving it into its component colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
