  2. Monochrome rainbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrome_Rainbow

    A monochrome or red rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon and a rare variation of the more commonly seen multicolored rainbow. Its formation process is identical to that of a normal rainbow (namely the reflection/refraction of light in water droplets), the difference being that a monochrome rainbow requires the sun to be close to ...

    Unenhanced photo of a red (monochrome) rainbow. Occasionally a shower may happen at sunrise or sunset, where the shorter wavelengths like blue and green have been scattered and essentially removed from the spectrum. Further scattering may occur due to the rain, and the result can be the rare and dramatic monochrome or red rainbow. [47]

    Most rainbows are colorful and vibrant, but not this one. A rare white rainbow, also known as a ghost rainbow or a fogbow, was captured on video arcing over the skies of Heihe, Heilongjiang ...

  6. Optical phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phenomenon

    One common example is the rainbow, when light from the Sun is reflected and refracted by water droplets. Some phenomena, such as the green ray, are so rare they are sometimes thought to be mythical. [2] Others, such as Fata Morganas, are commonplace in favored locations. Other phenomena are simply interesting aspects of optics, or optical effects.

    Sometimes called ghost rainbows, our photographer Merrily Cassidy caught a fogbow on camera. But what even is a fogbow? Rare white rainbows spotted on Cape Cod in post-Christmas fog.

  8. Atmospheric optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_optics

    Rainbows. These result from a combination of internal reflection and dispersive refraction of light in raindrops. Because rainbows are seen on the opposite side of the sky from the Sun, rainbows are more visible the closer the Sun is to the horizon. For example, if the Sun is overhead, any possible rainbow appears near an observer's feet ...

  9. Spectral color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_color

    A rainbow is a decomposition of white light into all of the spectral colors. Laser beams are monochromatic light, thereby exhibiting spectral colors. A spectral color is a color that is evoked by monochromatic light, i.e. either a spectral line with a single wavelength or frequency of light in the visible spectrum, or a relatively narrow spectral band (e.g. lasers).
