| Abstract: | Unconvinced, Newton set up a prism experiment that proved color is instead an inherent property of light itself. Newton deftly executed the delicate experiment: He bored a hole in a window shutter, allowing a single beam of sunlight to pass through two prisms. Although contemporary physicists initially rebuffed Young's findings, rampant rerunning of these so-called double-slit experiments established that the particles of light really do move like waves.
