How Rainbow is Formed


Rainbow is one of optic phenomena that happens in the atmosphere of the earth naturally.
We can see it at mountin range, or when it is cloudy, or when it is raining and rising of sun.
We have to be the other side for looking.
We just can see it a half of circle form, but acctually the rainbow is a circle form. We can see
it perfectly, if it is seen by standing in the high place.
It is real that rainbow is a circle form not like parabola form.
On the ground, we can not see perfectly, except if we are in the high place like in the air plane
or standing on top of moutain. When we
are looking at rainbows colors, we will see them that ordered of red is on the
highest order, and purple is on the lowest order.



Red is more dominant than another color caused by having
biggest wave between others. Therefore the red one is in the
highest order and purple one is in lowest order.

How rainbow is formed?

Try to watch it when light of sun concerns a 90-degree angle
mirror or a glass prism side, or surface of soap foam. We can see
colors on the light. The light is rayyed to be some wave lenght of
light that it is seen by our eyes as
red, bright red, yellow, green, blue and purple. These colors are
compnents of light that they are called visible light.

The other component is invisible light such as infrared (red is in
the right side), and ultraviolet (bright red is in the left side).
So, we can see the beautiful rainbow because there are some
processes to be beautiful rainbow that it appears in the sky.
