READING COMPREHENSION 1

A rainbow is a beautiful optical and meteorological phenomenon that


appears in the Earth's atmosphere as a multicoloured arc. It is caused by
the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets,
resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.

Here's a breakdown of how rainbows form:

 Sunlight: Rainbows are always seen in the direction opposite to the


sun. This means the sun must be behind you, and the rain or mist in
front of you, for a rainbow to appear.

 Water Droplets: The atmosphere must contain a large number of


water droplets, such as during or after rainfall, or in mist or spray.

 Refraction: As sunlight enters a water droplet, it slows down and


bends. This bending is called refraction.

 Reflection: The light then travels to the back of the droplet, where
it hits the inner surface and reflects. This is why you need water
droplets to be somewhat spherical for the effect to work
consistently.

 Dispersion: White sunlight is made up of different colours, each


with a slightly different wavelength. When light is refracted, these
different wavelengths bend at slightly different angles. This
separation of colours is called dispersion. Red light bends the least,
and violet light bends the most.

 Second Refraction: As the dispersed light exits the water droplet,


it refracts again, further separating the colours.

 Observation: Because each colour is refracted at a slightly


different angle, when you look at a rainbow, you are seeing light
from different droplets for each colour. The arc shape is due to the
specific angle at which the light is returned to your eye
(approximately 42 degrees for the primary rainbow).
The Colours of the Rainbow:

The most commonly remembered colours of a rainbow are typically listed


as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (often remembered
by the acronym ROYGBIV). Red is always on the outside of the arc, and
violet is on the inside.

Types of Rainbows:

While the primary rainbow is the most common, other types can occur:

 Secondary Rainbow: This is a fainter and wider arc that appears


outside the primary rainbow. It is formed by two reflections inside
the water droplets instead of one, and the colours are reversed
(violet on the outside, red on the inside).

 Supernumerary Arcs: These are faint, narrow, pastel-coloured


bands that sometimes appear inside the primary rainbow or outside
the secondary rainbow. They are caused by the interference of light
waves.

 Twinned Rainbow: A very rare phenomenon where two separate,


concentric primary rainbows appear.

 Fogbow (Cloudbow): Similar to a rainbow but formed in much


smaller water droplets found in fog or clouds, resulting in a whiter,
less vibrant arc.

 Moonbow (Lunar Rainbow): A rare rainbow produced by


moonlight rather than direct sunlight. They are typically much
fainter and often appear white to the human eye due to the limited
light.

Rainbows are a testament to the beautiful physics of light and water,


reminding us of the hidden spectrum within everyday sunlight.
