RAINBOW

A rainbow is a multi-colored arc that forms in the sky. It is created by both reflection and
refraction of light in water droplets in the atmosphere, which results in a spectrum of
light appearing. A rainbow is in fact a full circle of light. However, due to most people
viewing a rainbow on the ground we only see a semi-circle or arc of the rainbow.
Rainbows can be seen not just in rain but also mist, spray, fog, and dew, whenever
there are water drops in the air and light shining from behind at the right angle.
In 1666, one of the most important experiments on light was made by Isaac Newton. He
was the greatest of all English men of science. He discovered that sunshine (white light)
is made up of many colors. Sir Isaac Newton passed a beam of white light through
a prism. This process is known as dispersion. A prism is a triangular piece of glass,
which allows light to spread out into a band of six colors. These colors are red, orange,
yellow, green, blue and violet. Most of these are easy to distinguish except for indigo.
Legend has it that Newton included indigo because he felt that there should
be seven rather than six colours in a rainbow. Due to his strong religious beliefs he
named the component colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet which
makes up a rainbow.
