i have a picture of two rainbows color spectrum is correct on one of them the other the colors are reversed ??

Question

the colors are like looking into a mirror beside it, but both rainbows are parallel

Answer 1

That's normal.

Rainbows are formed with both refraction and internal reflection occurring in suspended water droplets.When there is a second visible band (at about 10-12 degrees further out), it is associated with a second internal reflection. Because the light is reflected twice, the order of the colors is reversed.

If there is a third rainbow, the colors will be reversed again - back to the original spectrum.

Answer 2

I don't necessarily know what it is you are asking but I will try to answer the best I can.

A rainbow occurs when light is refracted, refracted, and dispersed through water droplets. Now depending on your positive and the atmospheric conditions there is the potential for THREE rainbows. A primary, secondary, and tertiary rainbow.

Primary rainbows color order is (from inside out) Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.

Secondary rainbow is usually seen above the primary bow, and the colors are reversed, ROYGBIV.

Answer 3

in the secondary bow, the paler outer one, the colours are reversed

If you want to see a tertiary bow (very rare), you have to turn through 180 degrees.

The colours of the tertiary bow are the right way round
