Sections 9.6 and 9.7 deal with the phenomena of dispersion and its applications to atmospheric optics. One such application is the explanation of rainbows. Develop a concept map that you could use to teach a friend or family member about the formation and basic characteristics of rainbows. Your map should include links to the fundamental physical processes of reflection, refraction, and dispersion and should distinguish between primary and secondary rainbows. It should also indicate the conditions that must be satisfied to observe rainbows.
Is it possible that total internal reflection plays a role in rainbows? Explain in terms of indices of refraction and angles, perhaps referring to Figure 25.48. Some of us have seen the formation of a double rainbow. Is it physically possible to observe a triple rainbow? Figure 25.48 Double rainbows are not a very common observance.
