A diamond shines in so many directions because light from the sun or any other light source which shines on the diamond is reflected and refracted back to the eye of the beholder, based on its facets and the innate reflective property of diamond mineral.

It's all down to how the stone was cut. Cutting the stone creates varioius angles (called facets) - which allows light to enter the stone, and be reflected back at different angles. Additionally, as the light exits the stone, some remains white, and some split into the colours of the spectrum. This creates the 'sparkle' effect that's seen by the viewer.

Explain how a rainbow is made?

The rainbow is made up of several colors. Rainbow is not an actual color, but a collage of all the colors that exist within it. People believe that rainbow is a color because it is just a shorter way than saying 'every color in the visible light spectrum'. Thus, the term rainbow acts like a color, but is just a collage of colors.

How do you make a rainbow from white light?

White light contains all wavelengths of colors. To make a rainbow, you need to separate those wavelengths (colors). This is accomplished by bending, or diffracting light. Different wavelengths of light are bent differently when they are passed through a transparent prism. When they are bent diffrently, they start to separate from one another and become visible to the eye as different colors.


Are the colors of the rainbow always in the same order?
