Mystery of Rainbow

            We all have seen Rainbows during rainy season, which are in half circle (inverted U) shape sometimes found in the sky; very attractive and colorful divert the attention of human being.  Its life is very short maximum 10 to 15 minutes but has the greatest quality of attraction and eyes soothing to the viewers. When Sun light which looks white in color but actually that is the mix of seven colors which enters into the water droplets then it is refracted at the boundary of air and water where the light disintegrates into the seven colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It is separation of the spectrum wavelength which differs from color to color.

            Sometime we see double rainbows which are due to when sunlight reflected twice within a raindrop with the violet light which reaches to the watchers eyes coming from the higher raindrops and red light from lower raindrops.

There are some facts about rainbow—

1.     Raindrops formed when sunlight passes through raindrops,

2.     It is made of seven colors,

3.     They formed into perfect circles due to shape of the raindrops,

I got the idea of writing about the mysteries of the Rainbow after seeing one of my pictures which I shot at Nobbis beach in Newcastle Australia when I was taking evening stroll around there. Luckily I found a full arch of the rainbow which was formed before me making me nut and I went on shooting spree of the beautiful phenomena.
