Did you know bigger raindrops make brighter rainbows?
A raindrop falls at about 12 km's (7.5 miles per hour.)
Rainbows are formed when light hits droplets of rain, each droplet acting like a prism
According to Isaac Newton's study's and also universally accepted there are 7 colours in a rainbow,
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Each colour has its different wavelength.
Red has the longest wavelength which is slightly bent and,
violet the shortest wave length and bends the most.
It is best seen early in the morning, such a wonderful sight, especially watching with sunglasses on.
Rain is forecast tomorrow, maybe l will catch a rainbow!
