4218 Rainbow physics

The rainbow is a natural phenomenon that we can observe quite easily in nature. The last drops of rain, after a thunderstorm, behave like many small optical prisms that cause the dispersion of sunlight rays. Thanks to this kit, by performing simple experiments, it is possible to investigate the physical aspect of this natural phenomenon.

• The spectrum of electromagnetic waves
• Reflection of optical radiation
• Refraction of optical radiation
• Refraction through an optical prism
• When the incident radiation is polychromatic.
• Solar radiation
• The refraction of a monochromatic radiation through a drop of water.
• The refraction of a polychromatic radiation through a drop of water
• The refraction of solar radiation through a drop of water
• The homemade rainbow with a crystal ball
