Why when a white light hits a raindrop does it split into seven colors of the rainbow?
A beam of light is made up of all seven colors, the color we see on an object is the color the object reflected. A raindrop acts as a prism. When the white light enters the prism, all the colors are reflected.
How fast does a raindrop travel?
Depending on the size of the raindrop and the wind speed, updrafts, downdrafts a raindrop can fall at the speed of light. The previous answer was obviously written by an idiot. A raindrop will fall at usually 3 to 8 metres/second. A raindrop will never ever be able to travel at the speed of light.
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
Why the size of fiber optic is important?
thats because if its to big the light might not refract exactly right and this may cause the information to be mixed up causing some of the light to be total internally reflected which destroys the message.
What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop

What is the abbreviation for DIRC?
Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light
What happens when white light strikes an object?
Depending on the object, it may be reflected, absorbed, refracted or internally reflected.
Why are thunderclouds black?
Light is reflected internally off ice crystals, and cannot escape the cloud.
How is light used in fiber optics?
Light enter the optical fibre, and is totally internally reflected all the way along.

What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow

What determines the colors seen when light exits a raindrop?
White light is a mix of different colors. Different colors will be refracted at different angles, so they will exit a raindrop in different places.
