People think that the rainbow is magical but unfortunately it’s scientifically formed. The rainbow is very unique because it’s formed from the geometry of raindrops. Their colors come from raindrops that reflect sunlight, breaking white sunlight into colors but there is more to just raindrops and colors.
Light travels in waves depending on how big or small the waves are. It determines the color; for example, short wave-lights appear blue and long wave-lights appear red. Sunlight is made up of many wavelengths so that makes us see the colors of the rainbow.When the light enters the water, it bends causing its shape. Different colors of light have different frequencies, which causes them to travel at different speeds when they move through matter.
A double rainbow forms if sunlight is passing through a thin stratum of clouds and a stratum of rains simultaneously then you can get two rainbows at a time. Some rainbows form as an arc or a semi circle and that is because rainbows are only partial part of a circle around the shadow of your head on which rainbows are seen. You can mostly only see circled rainbow from above like in an aircraft. When the water drops get very small the wave like nature of light starts to dominate which will wash out the colors in a rainbow until the drops are too small and a rainbow will not been seen at all. So a complete circular rainbow seen from an aircraft is going to look whiter than colored, with the shadow of the aircraft seen in the center.
What is the rainbow's distance? It is nearby or far away? Where is that pot of gold? Many people ask all those questions all the time but not yet have they found an actually answer for most of them. We wonder where it ends or how long it is but according to where the raindrops are extending from the closest to the farthest illuminated drops. Supposedly in Eastern Europe the pot of gold can be found at the rainbows end somewhere in old Europe . “In Silesia
Overall rainbows are not made magically because there is a lot of science behind it. As we research more and more about rainbows we were amazed of how and what made a rainbow form. Their colors have pretty interesting meaning and the way they shine their colors are awesome. We learned that there are many different types of rainbows like the one around the sun, the one with only two colors, and the double arch one. I guess we will never find out if there’s actually a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
