Opticks is a book written by
English physicist
Isaac Newton that was released to the public in
1704. It is about
optics and the
refraction of
light, and is considered one of the great works of
science in history. Opticks was Newton's second major book on physical science. Even if he had not made his better-known discoveries concerning
gravity and the invention of the
calculus, Opticks would have given him the reputation as one of the greatest scientists of his time.
