newtons dark secrets
History:
Now a days we know newton as only inventor of ‘g’ < acceleration due to gravity >. But we are never ever interested in his dark secrets. He was not only english physicist but also a mathematician and a natural philosopher.
Sir Issac Newton was born on 25 December 1642. 3 months before his birth, his father died and her mother remarried. In June 1661, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. he was awarded a scholarship in 1664.
Revolution of earth:
Newton studied Keplar’s law of planetary motion and concluded that the earth revolves around sun in an eclipse manner.
Newton’s reflecting telescope:
Telescope was discovered by Galileo. But while he was watching the stars or planets through it, there were fringes around the objects though they were not present.
Until Newton’s discovery, it was followed that light consist of a single wavelength and don’t consist of other colors. Newton studied the phenomena of prism and discovered that light consist of 7 colors named VIBGYOR & different wavelengths. But this wavelengths are not visible to our eyes directly. Then he added the prism in Galileo’s telescope and he found that those fringes never obtained.
Gravitational force:
Greek philosophers thought that the planets and stars were part of the gods' realm and followed a "natural motion." They did not realize that Gravity is involved. The Greeks' ideas stuck around until the 16th century. Beginning in the 1500s, though, astronomers like Galileo and Brahe discovered that the earth and other planets revolved around the sun. Kepler showed that they moved in an elliptical orbit, not a circle. The question was why.
While studying, Newton observed a falling apple from tree and he realized that some force must be acting on falling objects like apples because otherwise they would not start moving from rest.
And from then onwards he started studying about the falling force. He named it as force of gravity. Gravity is a force of attraction that
