Fountain rainbows.
We present the first measurements of radiance spectra of rainbows. The bows on two sunny days (3 and 6 June 2008) were produced by the fountain in the Parque de las Ciencias, Granada, Spain, that consists of a rectangular perimeter of 40 spray nozzles. Optical thickness of the spray from each nozzle was approximately 0.5. Spectral purity of the primary bow was highest for orange and blue, reach...
متن کاملRainbows in the Hypercube
Let Qn be a hypercube of dimension n, that is, a graph whose vertices are binary n-tuples and two vertices are adjacent iff the corresponding n-tuples differ in exactly one position. An edge coloring of a graph H is called rainbow if no two edges of H have the same color. Let f(G, H) be the largest number of colors such that there exists an edge coloring of G with f(G, H) colors such that no su...
متن کاملThe Calculus of Rainbows
The geometry of reflection and refraction explains the apparent position of a rainbow relative to the sun, and calculus shows why light is concentrated in the rainbow. Exercises include the derivation of Snell’s Law and the Law of Reflection, an explanation for the different colors in the rainbow, and an exploration of secondary and tertiary rainbows. This is intended as a one-hour lecture for ...
متن کاملRainbows and fogbows.
The optics of rainbows and fogbows is investigated theoretically for monodisperse drops using Mie theory. Included in the calculations are a realistic solar illumination spectrum and the finite size of the sun. Drop sizes range from 3 to 300 microm (3800 > X > 38). Results are presented on the location, width, contrast, polarization, and color of both primary and secondary rainbows. Particular ...
متن کاملImaging polarimetry of the fogbow: polarization characteristics of white rainbows measured in the high Arctic.
The knowledge on the optics of fogbows is scarce, and their polarization characteristics have never been measured to our knowledge. To fill this gap we measured the polarization features of 16 fogbows during the Beringia 2005 Arctic polar research expedition by imaging polarimetry in the red, green and blue spectral ranges. We present here the first polarization patterns of the fogbow. In the p...
