What shapes do raindrops come in?

Raindrops come in all different shapes and sizes; most of the time not in the famous teardrop shape. It is entirely dependent on wind conditions, humidity, the type of cloud it fell from and many other contributing weather factors.Whilst falling a raindrop will tend to form a perfect sphere due to surface tension taking up the smallest area.


Why do we see a distorted view when we look through a window covered with raindrops?

The irregular shapes of the raindrops scatter the image of the outside as the light is refracted or bent when it hits the raindrops. It all goes back to the fact that the speed of light is slower in glass or liquid. You dont really notice a distortion in the glass as it is uniform - all the same thickness, but the raindrops are all different shapes, bending the light in many different angles.


If light traveled at the same speed in raindrops as it does in air could rainbows exist?

No as it is the light refracting (slowing down) through the raindrops. The different colours in the white light travel at different speeds through the raindrop, which causes them to split up into the different colours of the rainbow. Obviously if the light didn't slow down it would continue as white light.


What happens when white light from the sun passes through raindrops?

The light separates, or refracts (I think that's the right word) into a rainbow inside the drop and recombines into white light as it leaves the drop. That is why you need many many drops to see a rainbow.
