El experimento del prisma de Newton | Khan Academy en Español

Discovering the Composition of White Light

• Newton used prisms to show that white light is composed of the seven colors of the rainbow.

• The popular belief was that the prism created colors, but Newton's experiments proved otherwise.

• By observing how light passed through prisms, Newton debunked the theory that prisms generate colors.

"Newton's experiments with prisms revealed that white light is a combination of the rainbow's colors, challenging the notion that prisms create colors."
