What is refraction mean in the terms of rainbows?
It means the bending of light.
What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?
Refraction ~ look to related link below .
What might you see if refraction occurred during precipitation?
If refraction occurs during precipitation, it is possible that a rainbow will be visible after the storm. Rainbows are produced when the eye can actually see the bending of light rays that is not normally visible.
What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
What does the term ''refraction'' mean in terms of rainbows?
This refers to the degree at which the direction of the light rays change (ie 'bend') when they pass through drops of water.
Are rainbows matter?
No - it has something to do with the refraction of light.
When and how do you get rainbows formed?
Rainbows are made by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays as they fall on raindrops.
How do rainbows get their color?
light refraction etc from the raindrops
What is refraction mean in the terms of rainbows?
It means the bending of light.
Where do rainbows appear?
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
What scientific principle explains the changes in light that cause rainbows?
Refraction
Is a double rainbow real?
Double rainbows are real.. technically you can get triple rainbows, quadruple rainbows etc. because its just a refraction of the light of water so therefore it is infinite.
What is the scientific name for rainbows?
The scientific processes that forms rainbows is called refraction and then reflection. Rainbows themselves do not have a specific scientific name.
What are examples of atmospheric refraction?
sun halo, sun rays, rainbows, fire rainbow, pumpkin sun, etc
What is sound's version of a rainbow?
Rainbows are caused by the refraction of light through water droplets. The nature of sound does not relate to light refraction but perhaps an arpeggio or complementary chords would suffice.
How long are rainbows?
A rainbow has no length- it is a refraction of light, dependent on the angle between the viewer and the light source. When seen from an airplane, it may be a circle of color, and not a "bow".
Is there a word for light refraction?
The word is rainbow. Rainbows occur when light is reflected inside droplets of water and then refracted out into the air.
