to
Exper. I. I took a black rectangular rectangular Paper
terminated by Parallel Sides, and with a Per-
pendicular right Line drawn croſs from one
Side to the opposite, diftinguiſhed it into 2 e-
qual Parts. one amongst one amongst I painted with
a red color and also the alternative with a blew.
The
Paper was terribly black, and also the and also the
and thickly ordered on, that the Phænomenon
might be may be.
This Paper I
view'd through a Priſm of folid Glaſs, whoſe
two Sides through that the sunshine the sunshine the
Eye were plane and well poliſhed, and contained
an Angle of concerning fixty degrees : that Angle
I decision the refracting Angle of the Prifm. And
whilſt I view'd it, I command it and also the and also the
a Window in ſuch manner that the perimeters of the
Paper were parallel to the Prifm, and each each Sides and also the and also the parallel to the Horizon, and also the crofs Line was alſo parallel to it: and
that the sunshine that fell from the Window upon the Paper created associate Angle with the Paper, adequate that Angle that was created with the ſame
Paper
[ 17 ]
Paper by the sunshine mirrored from it to the attention.
Beyond the Priſm was the Wall of the Chamber
under the Window coated over with black
Cloth, and also the fabric was concerned in Darkneſs
that no lightweight may well be mirrored from thence,
which in paſling by the perimeters of the Paper to
the Eye, may mingle it ſelf with the sunshine of
the Paper, and obfcure the Phænomenon there-
of.
Theſe things being therefore ordered, I found
that if the refracting Angle of the Priſm be
turned upwards, ſo that the Paper might might to
be raised upwards by the Refraction, its blue
half are raised higher by the Refraction than
its red [*fr1]. however if the refracting Angle of the
Priſm be turned downward, ſo that the Paper
may might to be carried lower by the Refra-
etion, its blue [*fr1] are are
lower thereby than its red [*fr1].
Wherefore in
both each the sunshine that comes from the
blue half the Paper through the Priſm
the Eye, will in like Circumſtances ſuffer a
greater Refraction than the sunshine that comes
from the red [*fr1], and by conſequence is additional
refrangible.
