3D Rainbow View - Credit: Tom Walsh
Description: This is a simulation of the processes involved in the formation of a rainbow. The 3D image on the right shows the location of a rainbow as seen by an observer on the ground. The green plane represents the ground. The blue dot on the green plane represents the position of the person viewing the rainbow. Change the angle of the sun above the horizontal and watch how the position of the rainbow changes.
On the right in the 2D view you can see the actual refraction and reflection that occurs in each raindrop. The white light enters the spherical raindrop, and it undergoes refraction (bending) and dispersion (different wavelengths/colors bending by slightly different amounts). Only the extreme red and violet rays are shown. On the right side of the raindrop reflection occurs. Near the bottom of the raindrop the light leaves the drop, again refracting and dispersing. The light from the red end of the spectrum comes out of the drop below the light from the violet end of the spectrum. This confuses some, as red is the color located at the top of a rainbow and violet is on the bottom. You can zoom in on the raindrops in the 3D view (by clicking the button). This view may help people understand this apparent contradiction. The drop that sends the red light to the viewer needs to be higher in the sky than the drop that sends the violet ray to the viewer (with all the other colors in between, of course).

Differences Between Normal and Anomalous Zeeman Effect
Normal vs Anomalous Zeeman Effect | |
| The splitting of a spectral line of an atom into three lines in an external magnetic field is called normal Zeeman effect. | The splitting of a spectral line of an atom into four or more line in the presence of a magnetic field is called anomalous Zeeman effect. |
| This can be explained on the basis of classical physics. | This can only be understood on the basis of quantum mechanics invoking electron spin. |
| Magnetic moment is due to orbital angular momentum. | Magnetic moment is due to both orbital and nonzero spin angular momentum |
| Involves transitions between singlet states. | Involves transitions between doublet, triplet etc states |
| Calcium, copper, zinc, and cadmium are some elements that show this effect. | Sodium and chromium are two elements that show this effect. |
Characteristics or Properties of X Rays
- X rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelength ranging from 0.1 - 1 Å.
- X rays travel in straight lines.
- X rays are produced when high energy electrons are stopped by metal barriers.
- X rays are absorbed more readily by heavy elements than light elements.
- X rays affect photographic plates.
- X rays cause fluorescence.
- X rays are not affected by electric or magnetic fields.
- X ray Spectrum consists of line spectrum superimposed on a continuous spectrum.
- X rays interact with materials and cause ionization.
- X rays are diffracted by atomic or molecular arrangement in crystals.
