This paper was the first of many to outline Newton’s theory that white light is a “Heterogeneous mixture of differently refrangible rays”, where ‘heterogeneous’ refers to something that is diverse in content, and ‘refrangible’ refers to matter that is able to be refracted. His theories regarding optics, however, were made public right at the start of his career with his first written work on optics being published just after his election to the Royal Society. Students in public events, testify for the success of such work.Most of Newton’s theories only became known later in his life and after the publication of the 'Principia'. That deserved by the uneducated people to the activities demonstrated by the Highly favourable reception of the project by the students involved, as well as
