Rainbows
Overview
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that appears as a multicolored arc in the sky. It is caused by the interaction of sunlight with water droplets in the atmosphere.
How Rainbows Form
Rainbows form when sunlight enters a raindrop, bends, reflects inside the droplet, and then bends again as it exits. This process separates white light into its component colors.
Colors
A primary rainbow displays red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Red appears on the outer edge of the arc, while violet appears on the inner edge.
Types
In addition to primary rainbows, there are secondary rainbows, supernumerary rainbows, and fog bows. Each type forms under specific atmospheric conditions.
Scientific Significance
Rainbows helped scientists understand light, refraction, and color dispersion. Early studies of rainbows contributed to the development of modern optics.
