What is a rainbow?

 

Where do rainbows come from? Is there a special fairy up in the sky who paints the rainbow onto the sky using her magic paintbrush? Or do the colors fall out a big bag of candy that somebody spills out of a plane??  

To understand where rainbows come from, first you have to understand where color comes from; color is the way our eyes interpret the energies contained within a beam of light. White (uncolored) light contains a large spectrum of colors. When light touches an object, some of these energies are absorbed (taken in) by it, and others are reflected (cast back). – It’s the energies that are reflected which your eyes collect and then interpret as a specific color!   

But the situation with reflected and absorbed colors is a little different when the object being hit by light is a droplet of water: When light hits something like a droplet of water from the right angle, it bends and splits the energies so that when they’re reflected back at you, they’re fanned out into the colorful display of a rainbow! That’s why rainbows mostly come out after it rains and there are more water droplets for light to hit! – Neat!!

Prism Party!

Try this experiment, and you can make all of the colors of the rainbow in your own backyard!

Find out if you can buy or find a prism, which is a special clear triangle-shaped object sort of like a crystal. The really neat thing about prisms is that they can do the same thing to light as the droplets of water that make a rainbow!

Go outside with your prism on a sunny day and kneel down close to the sidewalk with it. Move your prism into lots of different angles until you find just the right angle for the light to hit the prism and to shine back with a rainbow!

We would like to congratulate the whyzz team for this great affort .

atleast, design-illustrations-images should be there.

No word is enough to make understand that 'what is Rainbow?"

instead of just an image.
