Law of gravitation which explains about the attractive force between any two massive bodies
Three Laws of Motion. (1. Law of Inertia, 2. About external for and acceleration of the body and 3. for Every action-equal and Opposite reaction)
Designed Reflecting Telescope
He was the first person who showed the white light consists of 7 colors, spectrum (VIBGYOR)
Worked a lot to designed a new branch of mathematics called Calculus
Designed Newton Interpolation theorems in Mathematics
Studied about Interference of light and practically showed interference pattern which is now calling as Newton rings in interference.
Studied about light and explained Newton Corpuscular Theory which supports the particle nature of Light.
Studied about Sound and designed an expression for the Velocity of Sound.
One of his famous books - Principia Mathematica.
Due to his contributions in many areas of science, after his death, on his tomb, he designed a quote ' INVALUABLE GEM TO THE MANKIND'.
