    The Newton disc is a physics experiment using a spinning disc with different colored segments that appears white at high speeds, demonstrating the principle of temporal optical mixing. It gets its name from Isaac Newton, who discovered the primary colors and published a diagram with colored segments, though it is uncertain if he used a spinning disc. The disc illustrates that human vision cannot distinguish high-speed movements due to the persistence of vision.

    Newton disc

    MADE BY :- SHRAVANI INGALE


    CLASS :- 8th B
    Newton disc
    ▪ The Newton disc, also known as the Disappearing
    Color Disc, is a well-known physics experiment with
    a rotating disc with segments in different colors
    (usually Newton's primary colors: red, orange,
    yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) appearing
    as white (or off-white or gray) when it spins very
    fast. This type of mix of light stimuli is called Color distribution of a
    temporal optical mixing, a version of additive- Newton disc.
    averaging mixing. The concept that human visual
    perception cannot distinguish details of high-speed
    movements is popularly known as persistence of
    vision.
    Why was the disc named Newton disc ?
    ▪ The disc is named after Isaac Newton.
    Although he published a circular diagram
    with segments for the primary colors that he
    had discovered, it is uncertain whether he
    actually ever used a spinning disc to
    demonstrate the principles of light.
    Transparent variations for magic lantern
     projection have been produced.
