Geometric optics and rainbows: generalization of a result by Huygens.
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1652 Huygens derived a formula specifying the rainbow angle for the primary bow (k = 1) in terms of the refractive index only. A generalization of this result for any k >or= 1 is outlined, along with an alternative representation. The details of the derivation can be found in (Adam, Mathematics Magazine, 2008, under review), but the results as stated may be of interest to the atmospheric optics community.

Theory of the observations made of high-order rainbows from a single water droplet.
Over a dozen rainbows have been observed in a single water droplet. They appear as glare spots on the water droplet which take on coloration at the appropriate rainbow angles. The appearance of rainbows as colored glare spots in this situation is understood in terms of the caustics created in the vicinity of the droplet by the refracting light rays. The angular positions of the glare spots are ...
متن کاملOn Some Inequalities Involving Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions with Emphasis on the Cusa–huygens, Wilker, and Huygens Inequalities
Recently trigonometric inequalities of N. Cusa and C. Huygens (see, e.g., [9]), J. Wilker [11], and C. Huygens [4] have been discussed extensively in mathematical literature. We shall demonstrate that Wilker’s inequality, Huygens’ inequality, and some other related inequalities all follow from the Cusa-Huygens inequality. A generalization of the latter result is also obtained. The hyperbolic co...
متن کاملPhase matrix for light scattering by concentrically stratified spheres: comparison of geometric optics and the "exact" theory.
We have developed a hit-and-miss Monte Carlo geometric ray-tracing program to compute the scattering phase matrix for concentrically stratified spheres. Using typical refractive indices for water and aerosols in the calculations, numerous rainbow features appear in the phase matrix that deviate from the results calculated from homogeneous spheres. In the context of geometric ray tracing, rainbo...
متن کاملRainbows from inhomogeneous transparent spheres: a ray-theoretic approach.
A ray-theoretic account of the passage of light through a radially inhomogeneous transparent sphere has been used to establish the existence of multiple primary rainbows for some refractive index profiles. The existence of such additional bows is a consequence of a sufficiently attractive potential in the interior of the drop, i.e., the refractive index gradient should be sufficiently negative ...
متن کاملRainbows by elliptically deformed drops. II. The appearance of supernumeraries of high-order rainbows in rain showers.
The appearance of supernumeraries of high-order rainbows in heavy rain showers is explored for rainbows up to order five (p=6). This is done by using a combination of the ray-theory-based first-order Möbius approximation for high-order rainbows with the Airy approximation of the rainbow radiance distribution. We conclude that supernumerary formation of rainbows of order three, four, and five is...
