What is the difference between primary rain bow and secondary rain bow?

∙ 14y ago
Rainbows are formed when light is reflected and refracted around the inside of water droplets. When the droplets get to a certain size, the light is reflected an additional time, creating a secondary rainbow.
The reason you see both a primary and a secondary rainbow (or even higher orders of rainbow) is that the water droplets which are reflecting the light have different sizes. Some of them are large enough to fit the extra reflection inside them, whereas some are not.

Why a person get electric current when he touch electric pole during rain?
This usually only happens on primary poles. The secondary does not have a high enough potential to make the jump to ground. The primary insulators have a crack in them and the high voltage is tracking across the crack to the pole and then to ground. If you have less resistance than the pole to ground where you touch it, you will feel a slight tingle.
How much pressure does a rain drop have?
When a rain drop hits the ground it is exerting between 6 and 8 p.s.i.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision and which one is more important to scientific measurement?
To be accurate is to be correct, for example, if you say it will rain tomorrow and it does rain tomorrow, then your prediction was accurate. Precision means to give a finely detailed measurement or observation, rather than an approximation. In the case of the weather prediction, a precise prediction might be on the order of, it will rain a total of 1.68 inches of rain, tomorrow. Such a prediction might or might not be accurate, but if it is, then it is also precise, much more precise than merely predicting that it will rain. Precision includes the concept of accuracy. An observation that is precise but inaccurate is useless; precision is only valuable when it is also accurate. Scientists cannot really choose between accuracy and precision since both are necessary for science to succeed, but accuracy is more fundamental. Something that is approximately correct is worth more than something that is very detailed, but wrong.
