Because the angle formed by a line
(from the sun) --> (to any point on the rainbow) and then --> (to your eye),
is always the same angle, for any point on the rainbow.

The only way that can happen is if the rainbow looks to you like a part of a circle.

Why is the absorbance versus concentration curve rarely straight?

What are curv...?

A curve is like a line segment, but not straight. Theoretically, "curved lines", is an incorrect terminology, as curve is never straight and a line is always straight. Mathematically a curve can be defined by a simple equation: γ : I → X where, I = Real number interval X = Topological space simply put, it's a line which is bent. Cheers!

What is the name for a bend in a straight road?

a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.

What is a straight line that intersects a curve?

A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
