Can you see the sun through the window? Or is it cloudy now? It doesn’t matter! You probably remember what the sun looks like—white or yellow, right?
Did you know that white light is all colors together? When white sunlight passes through raindrops, which act like tiny prisms. They slow down and scatter the light, and we see all its components: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
What about our faithful friend, the light bulb? When you turn on a white light bulb, it also looks white. But if you pass the light through a glass prism or even a soap bubble, you will see the same colors as in a rainbow!
