Diagnostic Essay

You cannot get to the end of the rainbow and there are no leprechauns

safekeeping a pot of gold. A rainbow is like a mirage. It is not an object, and

cannot be approached. Rainbow is a full circle of color in the sky caused by

water droplets viewed from a certain angle relative to the sun ray 's. It will be

impossible for an observer to see a rainbow from water droplets at any angle

other than the customary 42 degrees from the direction opposite to the sun.

From our perspective on Earth, we only see the top half of the rainbow and the

two ends only appear to touch the ground. You might be able to stand at the end

of the rainbow

    The rainbow is a fabulous symbol for me. If you see only one color, it’s not beautiful. If you see them all, it is. A coloured girl, by my definition, is a girl of many colours. But she can only see her overall beauty if she can see all the colors of herself. To do that she has to look deep inside herself, she will find...love and beauty” (Lecture notes: 107 13 Shange).…

    Look over there, it’s a rainbow! I cannot grab it nor place it in a jar. There were however many that seen it that day, peering between the mountains, as if it was connecting something. I suppose it had to be a rainbow because that is what I was told it was. Just like most other things, I am told and taught that things I see are real or not. Although I am confused, who said or decided that the rainbow was real. This is where the journey began, deciding what real means to me.…

    How a Rainbow is Created

    • 341 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight shining from behind at a low altitude angle. Rainbows can be caused by many forms of airborne water. These include not only rain, but also mist, spray, and airborne dew. First multiple rays of light enter a drop of water from one direction typically a straight line from the Sun, they then reflect off the back of the drop, and fan out as they leave the drop. The light leaving the drop then a rainbow is spread over a wide viewing angle. A rainbow however does not have a specific starting or ending spot, it all depends on where the observers location is relative to the sun. However the higher the point of view, the fuller the rainbow may become because after all a rainbow is a full circle and not just an arch. For example a mountain climber, may see a fuller rainbow than someone standing in a valley due to his higher viewing point.…

Rainbows are one of the most beautiful spectacles natures has to offer so beautiful, in fact, that they've inspired countless fairy tales, songs and legends. According to Wikipedia.com “Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere.”…
