Why Rainbows Wear Seven Stripes

Show Notes

Sunlight looks white, but it secretly carries every color mixed together — and a raindrop can split them apart. This episode traces the path of a single beam of light as it enters a water droplet, bends, bounces off the back wall, and fans out into the familiar arc of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Along the way, the physics of refraction gets unpacked with kitchen-table analogies, and a surprising connection between the speed of light and the order of rainbow colors clicks into place.
