In the next experiment, we are going to make a rainbow. We will check how the seven colors of the rainbow are fragmented. To perform the experiment, we will only need:
- Sun.
- Water.
- A tray or bowl to put water.
- A mirror that fits inside the bowl.
- White paper.
Way to prepare the experiment to make a rainbow:
First fill the bowl of water. Then we will put the mirror inside to allow the sun to reflect on it. We will put the bowl or bucket in a sunny place and the paper in front of the mirror, to get the light reflected on the paper.
¿What's going on?
When sunlight passes through the water it is fragmented into the 7 colors of the rainbow, just as we have done in this experiment.
