Physics of Rainbows

Physics Ninja looks at the Physics of Rainbows. I calculate the maximum angle of deviation for light entering a water droplet at an arbitrary angle. Snell's Law and some geometrical relationships are used to find the maximum angle of deviation. The results are used to explain the color sequence of the main bow of a rainbow.

Man, this is so ninja stuff! lol
Thanx from Brazil

Really great . . . but what about the reason behind the arc shape of the rainbow, and how the size of the arc is determined ? . . . . I'm interested to know where is the end of the rainbow (just kidding)
Also as Koko asked what is the software you are using for drawing please ?

Thx for the video! was very helpful especially for the geometry!

This was the vedio I was looking for 3-4 hrs
Finally got it

[kiranfarman]

What is the ratio of intensities of main bow and secondary bow?

thx alot. what's the name of program u used to drawing
