How Rainbows Are Formed and Explained

The document explains how rainbows are formed, noting that they occur when sunlight passes through water droplets and is refracted, separating white light into the colors of the visible spectrum. It provides details on the process of refraction and separation of light within water droplets to produce the rainbow effect. Additionally, it discusses that rainbows can be reproduced by using water sprays or reflecting sunlight through video discs to demonstrate the optical phenomenon.

Rainbow

Rainbow is a natural phenomenon that


is so impressive. This phenomenon often
appears after rain. Rainbow is an are
spectrum which is so large and occurs
GENERAL
STATEMENT
because the drops are refracted by
sunlight. When the sun is shining and the
light passing through water droplets, then
you will see a refraction that causes a
wide variety of colors. Light is refracted
like light passing through a glass prism.
Other names of the rainbow is a rainbow which is a
symptom of optical and meteorological phenomenon in
which light with different colors refracted parallel to
each other into water droplets. You can also see this
phenomenon under the very high and heavy waterfall.

SEQUENCED
How does rainbow happen in detail? All the
OF happenings begin when the sunlight passing through
EXPLANATION the raindrops. Then the light is deflected to the center
of the droplet. The white light, now separated from
each other into a spectrum of colors. The process does
not stop there. The colors that have been separated,
then separate again into the very small portions. There
is more light separated from each other in the droplets.
Then there are more curved and finally those color
form a light curve called a rainbow.
Can we make a rainbow? Of course. There are
at least two ways that you can do to make a
rainbow. First, you can use a spray containing
water. We know that rainbows occur when
sunlight passing through the raindrops. So, we
make our own rain droplets from the water spray.
In the morning or afternoon, spray water under
CLOSING
the sun, then see the water droplets flying. Spray
lots of water and you will see a small rainbow
that you can touch easily.
Second, use pieces of video discs then
reflected to the light of the sun, and navigate to
the wall or ceiling of your house. On the ceiling
or the wall, you will see a colorful light that have
the same color with the rainbow.
