It means the bending of light.
This refers to the degree at which the direction of the light rays change (ie 'bend') when they pass through drops of water.
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.
Diffraction is the bending of a wave at an angle as it passes from one medium to another.
Refraction
It means the bending of light.
No - it has something to do with the refraction of light.
Rainbows are made by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays as they fall on raindrops.
This refers to the degree at which the direction of the light rays change (ie 'bend') when they pass through drops of water.
light refraction etc from the raindrops
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
Refraction
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.
The scientific processes that forms rainbows is called refraction and then reflection. Rainbows themselves do not have a specific scientific name.
sun halo, sun rays, rainbows, fire rainbow, pumpkin sun, etc
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.
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".
