Around 1660, Isaac Newton began experiments on lights and prisms. He demonstrated that clear white light was composed of seven visible colours.
Issac thought that after using a prism on white light to see the seven colours, to try using a prism on a single colour. When he singled-out red, he used a second prism to find that red didn't split into other shades. The reason he tested this is explained on the second theory
Newton believed that all colours have multible other shades which formed said colour. When he tested the prism on red, nothing happened(It stayed red). This confirms that his theory that colours become to basic that they became to basic to expand with different shades and colours.
Modern day society relied on the information on how white light = all seven colours. Scientists already knew many of these colors existed, but they believed that the prism itself turned white light into colours. But when Newton refracted these same colors back onto another prism, they formed into a white light, proving that white light was a combination of all colors of the rainbow.
