He also produced important work on optics which is the science of light, he ground his own lenses and studied the diffraction of light through prisms and liquids Also he was the first British person to be knighted. -

The law of attraction
Newton published the principle that every body in the universe is attracted to every other body with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them -
Parliament
In 1689, Newton serves for one year in parliament -
Optics and Fluids
In the year 1703, Newton is appointed the president of the Royal Society and publishes his experiments with lights. His work helped to explain how fluids behave. His work on fluids also helped him to work out the speed of sound. -
