Rainbow_set4_001_noisy When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow.
Rainbow_set4_002_noisy The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors.
Rainbow_set4_003_noisy These take the shape of a long round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond the horizon.
Rainbow_set4_004_noisy There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end.
Rainbow_set4_005_noisy People look, but no one ever finds it.
Rainbow_set4_006_noisy When a man looks for something beyond his reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Rainbow_set4_007_noisy Throughout the centuries people have explained the rainbow in various ways.
Rainbow_set4_008_noisy Some have accepted it as a miracle without physical explanation.
Rainbow_set4_009_noisy To the Hebrews it was a token that there would be no more universal floods.
Rainbow_set4_010_noisy The Greeks used to imagine that it was a sign from the gods to foretell war or heavy rain.
Rainbow_set4_011_noisy The Norsemen considered the rainbow as a bridge over which the gods passed from earth to their home in the sky.
Rainbow_set4_012_noisy Others have tried to explain the phenomenon physically.
Rainbow_set4_013_noisy Aristotle thought that the rainbow was caused by reflection of the sun's rays by the rain.
Rainbow_set4_014_noisy Since then physicists have found that it is not reflection,
Rainbow_set4_015_noisy but refraction by the raindrops which causes the rainbows.
Rainbow_set4_016_noisy Many complicated ideas about the rainbow have been formed.
Rainbow_set4_017_noisy The difference in the rainbow depends considerably upon the size of the drops,
Rainbow_set4_018_noisy and the width of the colored band increases as the size of the drops increases.
Rainbow_set4_019_noisy The actual primary rainbow observed
Rainbow_set4_020_noisy is said to be the effect of super-imposition of a number of bows.
Rainbow_set4_021_noisy If the red of the second bow falls upon the green of the first,
Rainbow_set4_022_noisy the result is to give a bow with an abnormally wide yellow band,
Rainbow_set4_023_noisy since red and green light when mixed form yellow.
Rainbow_set4_024_noisy This is a very common type of bow,
Rainbow_set4_025_noisy one showing mainly red and yellow,
Rainbow_set4_026_noisy with little or no green or blue.
