Why can you see a rainbow on a CD?

You can see a rainbow on a CD because the surface of the CD acts as a diffraction grating, separating white light into its different colors. When light hits the surface, it gets diffracted and the different colors become visible due to interference patterns.


Is the shiny side of the DVD the content side?

Generally speaking, the shiny side of a DVD (or CD) is, indeed, the content side, so yes, this is true. It is possible to put a finish on the "label" side of a DVD or CD that is more shiny than the "content" side, but we often see a "dull" finish to the non-content side of one of these discs. If you look at the content side of the media in light, you should see a bit of a "rainbow" effect as light is reflected off the reflective surface beneath the clear material the disc is made of. This is the content side of the disc, and the laser used to scan it will "bounce" off the reflective surface.


Which wave interaction is responsible for the colorful rainbow on the back of a CD?

The colorful rainbow on the back of a CD is caused by diffraction, where light waves are bent and spread out due to the closely spaced tracks on the CD. This diffraction creates the rainbow effect as different colors of light interfere constructively and destructively.

Can a DVD be used as CD?

No. A DVD is a DVD, a CD is a CD. The two are cpletely different formats and use different wavelengths, so a CD player is incapable of reading a DVD. A DVD player can read CDs only because it can be made to operate at the other wavelength to read CDs. a CD holds 700 MB / 80 minutes of audio, whereas a DVD can hold 4700 million bytes / 4483 MB / 4.38 GB.
