Sometimes used to describe a firework's effect when it changes colour. Anything with a rainbow effect should display numerous colours such as red, green, yellow and orange.
1. An arc of spectral colors appearing in the sky opposite the sun as a result of the refractive dispersion of sunlight in drops of rain or mist. 2. A similar arc or band as one produced by a prism or by iridescence. If the sun is shining while it is raining, turn your back to the sun and look for a rainbow.
An arc or circle or colored light caused by refraction and reflection of sunlight by water droplets.
an arc of colored light in the sky caused by refraction of the sun's rays by rain
a beautiful array of colors
a bend of colors that appears in the sky when raindrops are lit by sunlight
a colour spectrum produced when sunlight passes through prisms consisting of water vapor (water droplets)
a curved arc of light of many colors across the sky
a fairly accurate sign that rain is ending, because it appears when the sun starts to shine through the clouds
a light phenomenon that can be seen in the sky usually after there is rain
a multicolored arc of light separated into bands of color that appear when the sun's rays are refracted
an arch of light exhibiting the spectrum colors in their order, caused by drops of water falling through the air
an arch showing prismatic colours as light from the sun reflected and refracted through raindrops
an arc of colors that appear in the sky when the sun's rays shine on rain
an arc of concentric colored bands that develops when sunlight interacts
an arc of light exhibiting the range (spectrum) of colors in their order
an arc of light, with an angular radius of , centred on a direction which is opposite to that of the sun in the sky ( i
an arc of spectral colors, usually identified as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, that appears in the sky opposite the sun as a result of the refractive dispersion of sunlight in drops of rain or mist
a natural display of the visible spectrum
a naturally-occurring spectrum of sunlight
a natural phantom of the visible light of the phantoms of the sun often scores with rays of the emission or absorption, that can be examined to reveal the composition and the movement of the source of the radiation
an example of a spectrum of visible sunlight dispersed by the prismatic affect of raindrops
an example of dispersion of light caused by raindrops
an example of refraction and reflection of light through drops of water
an example of the visible spectrum
an obvious indicator of rain as it refracts the light and breaks it down into colors
an optical Optics (appearance or look in ancient Greek) is a branch of physics that describes the behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter
a prismatic effect, a kind of optical illusion, because of water droplets in the air and the way the sun shines through them
a promise - gloriously painted on the canvas of the sky
a spectrum made by sunlight shining through raindrops
a spectrum of light produced by the natural prism of raindrops in the atmosphere
a splendid example of a natural light display, but when favorable conditions occur more locally, you may indeed find yourself right in the middle of a show of colors
A colorful arc created by the refraction and reflection of light in drops of water.
or rainbow flag--a gay pride symbol, designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, originally having eight stripes: hot pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, which stood for sexuality, life, healing, the sun, nature or serenity, art, harmony, and spirit. The hot pink stripe was dropped when flag makers couldn't find suitable material, and the indigo stripe was dropped to make the flag more balanced, so that three stripes could hang on either side of lampposts at Pride Parades.
Groups of concentric arcs with colors ranging from violet to red, produced on a "screen" of water drops (raindrops, droplets of drizzle or fog) in the atmosphere by light from the Sun or Moon. This phenomena is mainly due to the refraction and reflection of light. When rainbows are produced by the Sun, their colors are usually brilliant. When produced by the Moon, their colors are much weaker or sometimes absent.
An arc of concentric colored bands that spans a section of the sky when rain is present and the sun is positioned at the observer's back.
nature's display of the spectrum of colours produced by the dispersion of colours as light passes through droplets of water falling through the sky during a rainstorm. Droplets producing specific colours lie in arcs of a circle across the sky which is why the rainbow takes the shape of an arc.
An arc of color in the clouds opposite the sun, resulting from light being refracted (bent) as it passes through water droplets in the cloud and separated into its constituent colors.
Optical phenomenon when light is refracted and reflected by moisture in the air into concentric arcs of color.
An arc that exhibits in concentric bands the colors of the spectrum and is formed opposite the sun by refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in raindrops.
an arc of concentric colored bands, arranged from red to blue, which may be seen on a "sheet" of water drops (rain, fog, spray)
An arc or circle of colored light caused by the refraction of light by water droplets in the air.
Rainbows occur when sunlight is refracted and then reflected by raindrops. The raindrops act like a prism, breaking the light into the colours of a rainbow, with red on the outer, and blue on the inner edge. On occasion the light can be reflected from both the front and back of the raindrops and two rainbows are visible, with the colour bands in the second opposite to those in the primary rainbow. Rainbows can be seen when the sun is shining and the air contains water spray or raindrops. This condition occurs frequently during or immediately following showers. Rainbows are always observed in the portion of the sky opposite the sun. The sun, the observer's eye, and the centre of the rainbow arc always fall on a straight line.
Group of concentric arcs with colors ranging from violet to red, produced on a "screen" of water drops (raindrops, droplets of drizzle or fog) in the atmosphere by refraction and diffraction of light from the Sun or Moon.
A shot that has an extremely high shooting arc. See Also: Shooting Arc Related Terms: Rainbow Bright
A luminous arc featuring all colors of the visible light spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). It is created by refraction, total reflection, and the dispersion of light. It is visible when the sun is shining through air containing water spray or raindrops, which occurs during or immediately after a rain shower. The bow is always observed in the opposite side of the sky from the sun.
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a nearly continuous spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outside and violet on the inside. A double rainbow includes a second, fainter, arc with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside.
