Rainbow is an arc of the spectrum that occurs due to the refraction of sunlight by

water beads. Rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon in the form of

multicolored light parallel to each other in the sky or other medium. In the sky, a
rainbow appears as an arc light with the tip leads to the horizon at a moment of
light rain. Rainbow can also be seen around a raging waterfall.

This phenomenon usually occurs when the air is very hot but the rain drizzling
down. We can see this phenomenon clearly, if we are standing back to the sunlight.
Rainbow can also be formed due to foggy or dewy air.

In physics, a rainbow can be explained as a natural refraction event. Refraction is

the process diuraikannya one specific color into another color (also called the color
spectrum), through a medium / medium well specified.

In rainbow colors berurainya process occurs when white sunlight breaks down into a
spectrum of colors through the rain media. As for the color spectrum that happen
consist of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Rainbow phenomenon might have occurred in the vicinity of a waterfall. Splashing

around a waterfall into the media to break down the color of the sunlight that
shines.

Process of Rainbow

Polikromatik sun's light (composed of many colors). White color of sunlight is

actually a combination of various wavelengths of light differently. The human eye is
not able to observe the seven colors contained sunlight, which will look at the
rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

This light wavelength bands form parallel stripes, each color with shades of color
next to it. This tape is called a spectrum. In the spectrum, the red line has always
been on one side and blue and purple on the other hand, and this is determined by
the difference in wavelength.
Rainbow is none other than the great arc spectrum occurs because of refraction of sunlight by
water details. When sunlight passes water details, like when it refracts through the glass prism.
So at the water droplets, we have to get a different color extending from one side to the other
water droplets. Some of the colored light is then reflected from the far side of the water droplets,
back and out again of water droplets.
Light came back out of the water droplets in different directions, depending on the
wavelength. This wavelength difference, will bring the colors of the rainbow are
arranged with red at the top and purple at the bottom of the rainbow.

Rainbow can be seen only when the sun shines equal rainfall, but from the opposite
side of the observer. Position of the observer must be between the sun and the
water drops with the sun dibekalang person. The sun, the eyes of the observer and
the center bow should be in a straight line.
