The Text For Number 1-4 Rainbows: B. How Rainbow Form

1. Rainbows are formed when sunlight enters water droplets from rain and is refracted and reflected inside the droplets. The light separates into its component colors, with red on the outer edge of the primary rainbow. 2. A secondary rainbow can sometimes be seen higher in the sky with its colors reversed, caused by additional reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops through a second internal reflection. 3. Higher order rainbows beyond the second are theoretically possible from more internal reflections, but are never seen under normal circumstances due to faintness.

RAINBOWS
A rainbow occurs when raindrops and sunshine cross paths. Sunlight consists of
all the colors of light, which add together to make white illumination. When sunlight
enters water drops, it reflects off their inside surfaces. While passing through the droplets,
the light also separates into its component colors, which is similar to the effect of a glass
prism. Each falling water drop actually flashes its colors to the observer for just an
instant, before another drop takes its place.
A rainbow is usually seen in the opposite direction in the sky from the sun. The
rainbow light is reflected to the eye at an angle of 42 degrees to the original ray of
sunlight. The bow shape is actually part of a cone of light that is cut off by the horizon. If
you travel toward the end of a rainbow, it will move ahead of you, maintaining its shape.
Thus, there is no real end to a rainbow, and no pot of gold waiting there. Because the 42
degree angle is measured from each individual observer's eye, no two people see exactly
the same rainbow. Every person is at the center of his or her own particular cone of
colored light. From the high vantage point of a mountaintop or an airplane a complete
circle of rainbow light sometimes can be seen.
The bright, primary rainbow has red on the outer edge and blue within. Higher in
the sky there is always another, dimmer rainbow with the order of colors reversed. This
secondary rainbow results from additional reflection of sunlight through the raindrops. It
is most visible when there are dark clouds behind it. Look for the second bow high in the
sky the next time rainbow colors appear. Some observers have even reported seeing third
and fourth rainbows above the first two.

The text is for number 5-7
Sometimes we see two rainbows at once, what causes this? We have followed the
path of a ray of sunlight as it enters and is reflected inside the raindrop. But not all of the
energy of the ray escapes the raindrop after it is reflected once. A part of the ray is
reflected again and travels along inside the drop to emerge from the drop. The rainbow
we normally see is called the primary rainbow and is produced by one internal
reflection; the secondary rainbow arises from two internal reflections and the rays exit
the drop at an angle of 50 degrees rather than the 42degrees for the red primary bow.
Blue light emerges at an even larger angle of 53 degrees. his effect produces a secondary
rainbow that has its colors reversed compared to the primary, as illustrated in the
drawing, adapted from the Science Universe Series Sight, Light, and Color.
It is possible for light to be reflected more than twice within a raindrop, and one
can calculate where the higher order rainbows might be seen; but these are never seen in
normal circumstances.


5. Why the secondary rainbows may be formed?
a. Because there is second rain in the areas.
b. Because some of sunlight energy was escaped and reflected again in other
raindrops.

raindrops.
