Summary

Description
English: White light dispersed by a prism into the colors of the optical spectrum (above stripe) compared to a calculated rainbow (below) and its interference between rays of light following slightly different paths with slightly varying lengths within the raindrop (∅: 0.7mm). The middle stripe is from a real observation of a rainbow.
