What happens when you make a rainbow with the help of a glass of water and sunlight?

The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.


What do the colors of the rainbow make?

The colors of the rainbow combine to make white light. Each color has a different wavelength, and when they are all combined, they create the full spectrum of colors that make up white light.


How do you make light reflect off a mirror into water to make an rainbow?

To create a rainbow effect using a mirror and water, you'll need a source of white light (like sunlight), angle the mirror so that it reflects the light onto the surface of the water, and position yourself in a way that you see the reflection of the light in the water at a specific angle to see the rainbow. This effect occurs due to the refraction and dispersion of light as it passes through the water, creating the rainbow colors.

Would the color of rainbow change if the water is colorful?

I think it would hardly make a difference. Please notice that the reason the rainbow is colored in the first place is not related to the color of the water, but to refraction. White light is a mix of colors; the refraction in a water drop separate those.

How does rainbow wheel convert all colors to the color white?

When you see a rainbow, you see seven different colors. Well the same thing appears in a rainbow wheel. When you spin the wheel, the colors combine and mix to make the color white.

How can you make your own rainbow at home using simple materials?

To make your own rainbow at home, you can fill a glass of water and place it near a window where sunlight can pass through. Then, place a mirror in the water at an angle so that it reflects the sunlight onto a white surface, like a piece of paper or a wall. This should create a rainbow effect due to the refraction and dispersion of light.


Who painted the rainbow in the sky?

The rainbow in the sky is painted by the sunlight splitting through water droplets in the air. The white light is split into its many colours, causing the rainbow.
