Rainbows are based on the Sun's light, and diffraction of the light in raindrops separates out the colors. From any position of Sun, rainfall, and observer, the colors are fixed in orientation. Rainbows only change colors in Cartoons, or if recreational drugs are involved. Everyone sees rainbows differently. I could see it (from top) purple, red, orange, yellow, while you could see it red, yellow, orange, purple.
It is a rule that violet light bend that most and red color bend least way. Most of the light passes through the rain drop. Because of bending of colors in different ways and on different angle each color that emerges from raindrop produce a spectrum of colors. As only single color from each drop reaches to observer, so there are number of raindrops from which each rain drop reflect the light back to an observer at slightly different angle, as to produce different primary colors of rainbow. Secondary rainbow appears above the primary rainbow. When two colors reflection occur inside a raindrop at such angle that it results into secondary rainbow. When weaker light that start emerging to produce a dimmer rainbow effect. Refraction happens as light enters and leaves a prism. Red light is refracted the least and violet light is refracted the most. This causes the different colours in the light to spread out to form a spectrum. Separating the colours like this is called dispersion. We say that the light has been dispersed.
A rainbow is created when sunlight is refracted, or bent, and scattered in raindrops, splitting the light into its different colors. Each color in the rainbow corresponds to a different wavelength of light, creating the beautiful spectrum we see.
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
well, the rainbow obviously has all the colors, but the answer is brown.
Yes, a rainbow is a natural light phenomenon that occurs when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere.
No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.
No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.
Mixing the light colours of the rainbow will produce white light (i.e. daylight).
Because your mum didnt plan you to be born.
Since every possible color is somewhere in the rainbow, it must follow that when light with two or more of the rainbow's colors mix, the mix may produce another color that's somewhere else in the rainbow.
Apparently, a rainbow appears in the sky because both, rain and sun, mix together and produce light and colours. Some people belive that at the end of a rainbow is gold. But how does the gold just appear suddenly?
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.
If a slit is illuminated with white light, the light will be separated into its component colors due to diffraction, producing a rainbow pattern known as a spectrum due to the different wavelengths of light being diffracted at different angles. This effect is caused by the wave nature of light.
A rainbow is composed of light. Light does not reflect light.
Rainbow is formed when light from a distant source falls on a collection of water drops such as in rain, spray, or fog.This is how rainbow related to light.
No. Water vapor has no light source. Also, a rainbow is really a circle. There is no "end" of the rainbow. The light source is the sun. Draw a line from the sun to the center of the rainbow. The different colors are located at the angles relative to the sun's rays. For instance, if I recall correctly, I seem to remember that "Red" occurs at about 22 degrees off axis from the center of the rainbow. Other colors occur at higher or lower angles.
No,no t does not. A rainbow is merely light.
