Today's task was to create a rainbow. It's a beautiful sunny day, so it worked out perfectly. In the backyard of my house, i sprayed water in the air and took a picture of the light that was reflected. Rainbows consist of reflections of light off of tiny water droplets. The light penetrates the front side of the water drop and reflects off the back part of the water drop. The color that appears is based on the angle the light is reflected. Only a partial rainbow is seen is this picture because a rainbow only appears where water is.
More physics photos to come.
