Diagram illustrating how white sunlight refracts and reflects inside raindrops (A and B) to form a primary and secondary rainbow.

About this clipart

This educational diagram shows white sunlight entering two raindrops-labeled A and B-where it undergoes refraction, internal reflection, and dispersion, separating into spectral colors. Drop A produces the primary rainbow (red on top), while drop B contributes to the fainter secondary rainbow (reversed color order) due to a second internal reflection. The observer’s eye sees these rays converging at specific angles (42° and 51°), forming the characteristic arcs.
Used in science education websites, physics explainers, and meteorology resources to illustrate atmospheric optics; matches user intent for understanding natural phenomena or preparing classroom material.
