Book excerpt: By the Rays of Light I understand its least Parts, and those as well Successive in the same Lines, as Contemporary in several Lines. For it is manifest that Light consists of Parts, both Successive and Contemporary; because in the same place you may stop that which comes one moment, and let pass that which comes presently after; and in the same time you may stop it in any one place, and let it pass in any other. For that part of Light which is stopp'd cannot be the same with that which is let pass. The least Light or part of Light, which may be stopp'd alone without the rest of the Light, or propagated alone, or do or suffer any thing alone, which the rest of the Light doth not or suffers not, I call a Ray of Light. Refrangibility of the Rays of Light, is their Disposition to be refracted or turned out of their Way in passing out of one transparent Body or Medium into another. And a greater or less Refrangibility of Rays, is their Disposition to be turned more or less out of their Way in like Incidences on the same Medium. Mathematicians usually consider the Rays of Light to be Lines reaching from the luminous Body to the Body illuminated, and the refraction of those Rays to be the bending or breaking of those lines in their passing out of one Medium into another. And thus may Rays and Refractions be considered, if Light be propagated in an instant. But by an Argument taken from the Æquations of the times of the Eclipses of Jupiter's Satellites, it seems that Light is propagated in time, spending in its passage from the Sun to us about seven Minutes of time: And therefore I have chosen to define Rays and Refractions in such general terms as may agree to Light in both cases.

Excerpt: ...can be made of them, ) as soon as I had blown any of them them I cover'd it with a clear Glass, and by, that means its Colours emerged in a very regular order, like so many concentrick Rings encompassing the top of the Bubble. And as the Bub ble grew thinner by the continual subsiding of the Water, these Rings dilated flowly and overspread the whole Bubble, descending in order to the bottom of it, where they vanilh'd successively. In the mean while, after all the Colours were emerged at the top, there grew in thecenter of the Rings a small round black Spot, like that in the first observation, which continually dilated it self till it became sometimes more than or of an Inch in breadth before the Bubble broke. At first I thought there had been no Light reflected from.the Water in that place, but observing it more curiously, I saw within it several smaller round Spots, which appeared much blacker and darker than the rest, whereby I knew that there was some Reflexion at the other places which were not so dark as those Spots. And by farther Tryal I found that I could fee the Images, of some things (as of a Candle or the Sun) very faintly reflected, not only from the great black Spot, but also from the little darker Spots which were within it. Besides the aforesaid colour'd Rings there would often appear small Spots of Colours, ascending and descending up and down the sides of the Bubble, by reason of some Inequalities in the subsiding of the Water. And sometimes small black Spots generated at the fides would ascend ascend up to the larger black Spot at the top of the Bubble, and unite with it, Obs. 18. Because the Colours of these Bubbles were more extended and lively than theft of the Air thinn'd between two Glasses, and so more easy...
