How Rainbow Made

A rainbow is a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction and reflection of light in

droplets of water, which results in the appearance of a spectrum of light in the sky. Rainbows
appear in the form of a multicolored bow.

When caused by water and sun, rainbows appear on the side of the sky that is directly
opposite the sun. They can be full circles at times, but to the average observer, only the arc
will be visible.

There are 7 main colors that you can see in a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo and purple. When the sunlight hits the water droplets, the 7 colors appear.

The sunlight moves from air to water, the colors of light slow down to varying speeds
– depending on their frequency. As the violet light enters the raindrop, it bends at a sharp
angle. On the right side of the water droplet, some light is passed back into the air, while the
rest reflects backwards.

Raindrops that are higher in the sky disperse light so that only the red light is visible
to the observer’s eye. The droplets between red and violet reflect different colors so that an
observer sees a full color spectrum.

Don’t Try to Smoke

Many teenagers, who do not smoke, want to try smoking. They know it is bad for
them, but still want want to try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette and ask
his friend to light it up. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke slowly.

Now they do smoke regularly. They cannot avoid smoking and they enjoy it with his
friends. Every day they bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as
important as a wallet for their money.

Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long
list of fatal diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease but also
bladder and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000 Americans died each
year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco illnesses.

Then they decide it is stupid to harm theirselves. They want to quit smoking.
Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why can’t I stop smoking? I
really want to stop it”. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully addictive. As result,
when people try to quit smoking, they often experience classic nicotine withdrawal symptoms
such as anxiety, irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness.

Well, you still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying. If you are not smoker, you
should never and never try to smoke.
