Raindrops are the cause of Rainbows. Light from the sun passes through the "front" of the raindrop. It hits the "back" of the raindrop which, because raindrops are spherical, acts like a curved mirror.
At different points along this curve, the "beam" of incoming light is bent at slightly different angles depending on where it hits. This causes the "white" beam of light to spread out into its rainbow colours in a similar fashion to what you would see using a prism.
What else can I help you with?
Does a raindrop act like a prism of a rainbow?
Yes
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
How is a raindrop similar to a prism?
they both create rainbows because of their spherical shape
Why when a white light hits a raindrop does it split into seven colors of the rainbow?
A beam of light is made up of all seven colors, the color we see on an object is the color the object reflected. A raindrop acts as a prism. When the white light enters the prism, all the colors are reflected.
What is the duration of The Raindrop?
The duration of The Raindrop is 1.8 hours.
What is the break up of white light into seven colours?
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
What item is shaped like a prism?
The Toblerone box is like a triangular prism; any ordinary box is like a rectangular prism.
Is raindrop one or two words?
"Raindrop" is one word.
When was Master Raindrop created?
Master Raindrop was created in 2008.
When was The Raindrop created?
The Raindrop was created on 2000-02-04.
Why is a rain droplet shaped like a pear instead like a ball?
A raindrop would be sphere-shaped if it were floating in space or in the air, but because it does not float, but falls toward the Earth, the raindrop encounters resistance by the air. As the drop passes through the air, the relative motion of the air past the diameter of the spherical drop creates a slight vacuum at the top of the raindrop and that vacuum draws the top of the raindrop upward, creating the Why_are_raindrops_shaped_like_pear_instead_of_a_ballshape.
What colors are in a light prism?
A prism refracts light into its component colours just like a rainbow does, so some of the colours are.... * Red * Orange * Yellow * Green * Blue * Indigo * Voilet .... and there are lots of intermediary colours in there also.
