A few minutes ago while I was getting off of a boat in one of Bangkok Thailand's canals I noticed an absolutely beautiful rainbow seeeming, because of the peer where I happened to get onto, to come from an adjacent mosque and then stretching into a perfect arch. It is quite obvious why those with religious tendencies would see a rainbow as a symbol of god especially if one happens to be standing in an area where it seems to be coming from a temple, mosque, shrine, or church. Could you of a more scientific and analytical frame of mind remind me of the prism effect and explain why it is that rainbows are an arch or partial arch?
