A drop beam is a structural beam that is placed underneath the structrual member or members it is supporting, as opposed to a flush beam, which is placed in-line with the members it is supporting.

Why you can see the rainbow?

-We see rainbows when the sun is behind us and falling rain is in front of us.-When sunlight strikes a falling drop of water, it is refracted, changed indirection, by the surface of the water.The light continues shining into the drop of water and is reflected from the back of the drop to the front. When the beam hits the front of the drop of water, it is refracted again and it emerges from the drop as the colour spectrum that we see in a rainbow.-The water drop acts like a prism to separate the light into its different wave lengths.DOUBLE RAINBOW-If the beam is reflected twice inside the water drop, it will cause a secondary rainbow to appear when the light leaves the water drop. The colours of the secondaryrainbow are reversed in order with violeton the top and red at the bottom.
