How does rainbows relate to physic?

In: Rainbows [Edit categories]

Rainbows are related to physics through the lens effect of water drops. Water in the atmosphere acts as a lens and bends sunlight passing through the drops producing the colors of the rainbow. Newton demonstrated this lens effect, demonstrating that "white light" was composed of colored light.
