Why are Rainbows Colored?

Why are rainbows colored?

How is a rainbow formed?

The mechanics of rainbows have been studied since ancient times. The Greek philosophers were aware of the role of reflection in forming a rainbow, and had some understanding of the role of refraction. In the 13th century, scientists produced theories on rainbow formation, and in the 17th century, Rene Descartes sketched out the conditions required to observe a rainbow.

We see rainbows because of the geometry of raindrops. When the sun shines from behind us into the rain, incident rays of light enter the drop and are refracted inwards. They are reflected from the back surface of the raindrop, and refracted again as they exit the raindrop and return to our eyes. Refraction is responsible for splitting the sunlight into its component colors.

 

We see Flags flying everywhere and everyday.
Have you ever wondered what the colors of the flags represent?

Black -Black often represents determination, ethnic heritage, and/or defeating one’s enemies.

Blue – Blue often represents freedom, vigilance, perseverance, justice, prosperity, peace, and/or patriotism.

Green – Green can symbolize the Earth, agriculture, fertility, and/or the Muslim religion.

Red – Red often represents courage, revolution, hardiness, blood, and/or valor.

Color Meditation:

Begin by getting comfortable and doing breathing exercises or whatever you do to clear your mind and calm yourself.

Breathe in and fill yourself with each breath with a specific color of the spectrum, visualizing it as brighter and brighter each time (not lighter; by brighter, I mean more intense)

Fill your mind with these colors as you breathe:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (bluish-purple) and violet.

Go through these colors at whatever pace feels comfortable to you.
