Curious Lab
Have you ever wondered why rainbows are always circular? While we often see only an arc, the truth is, rainbows are full circles! In this video, we break down the fascinating physics behind this beautiful natural phenomenon, explaining how light, water droplets, and angles work together to create a spectrum of colors in the sky.
Discover the role of refraction, reflection, and dispersion in forming a rainbow, and learn why the observer’s perspective plays a key role in what we see. We’ll also explore why the ground often hides the lower half of a rainbow and how pilots and skydivers can sometimes witness the full circle of a rainbow.
Get ready to see rainbows in a whole new light!
