Rainbow
Rainbow is a natural phenomenon that is so impressive. This phenomenon
often appears after rain. Rainbow is an arc spectrum which is so large and occurs
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.

How does rainbow happen in detail? All the happenings begin when the
sunlight passing through 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
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.
