Hitekno.com – Everyone will know rainbow. The rainbow is one of the phenomena that occur in nature and that triggers a beautiful scenery.
The process by which rainbows are formed was not known until the 17th century, until Isaac Newton discovered the seven ghosts light.
He noticed the order the colors of the rainbow never change, always run in the same order.
Isaac Newton created the idea that there are seven color in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple (ROYGBIV).
But the truth is, the rainbow is made up of more than a million colors, many of which are invisible to the human eye.
A rainbow is not a pure spectrum. It is actually made up of a myriad of individual spectral colors that overlap and mix.
The basic order of colors for the primary rainbow is always the same from red (longest wavelength at about 780 nm) to purple (shortest wavelength in the order at 380 nm).
The idea of seven colors is still popular and helps to remember the order of the most easily recognizable colors in the rainbow.
However, keep in mind that there is also a wide variety of colors, so much so that we cannot distinguish them all with the naked eye. So what causes the different colors of the rainbow?
Here are the factors why the colors of the rainbow are different The group Hitekno.com summarize for you.
Factors that distinguish the colors of the rainbow
The rainbow is not an object. Rainbows are not objects but optical phenomena. You cannot touch or feel a rainbow because it has no physical existence.
Rainbows consist of reflected and curved light. You can never reach the end because the rainbow moves with the scene and has no static or stationary position in the sky.
Rainbow colors occur due to the light reflected from the millions of droplets in the mist or rain field when illuminated by the sun.
The sunlight is refracted, reflected and refracted again by the individual droplets, and the scattering scatters the reflected sunlight into the color spectrum in the process.
Most of the rainbows we see are “primary rainbows” where red can be seen on the outer edge and purple on the inner edge. The sky within the primary rainbow is brighter than the sky outside the arc.
This is because the millions of droplets needed to create a rainbow are spherical and overlap to create white light.
At the edges, the colored discs do not overlap, so they show their respective colors creating a rainbow. This is a brief explanation of the colors of the rainbow and the factors that make it different. We hope this information can add to your knowledge.
