process of separating poly-chromatic light into its component wavelengths
|
|
5
|
had theories on how rainbows are formed as introduced the idea of dispersion but never proved it
|
|
6
|
amount of light, heat, or sound that is thrown back in such a way
|

7
|
refracted once then reflected and refracted yet again

bending of light waves. When white light is refracted, a full spectrum of color appears, as in a prism

1
|
indicates that incoming light of different wavelengths is bent at different angles as it moves into a refracting material
|
|
2
|
visible as white light passes through a prism
|
|
3
|
last visible color in the spectrum
|
|
4
|
refracted when light goes into raindrop, reflected twice, then gets refracted back into the air
|

|
created by dispersion of light in water droplets
