what happens to the rainbow formation when you stir the water used in an outdoor rainbow experiment?
The outdoor rainbow experiment is explained below
Fill the glass with water and place the mirror in it face up at a 45ยบ angle, coming about halfway out of the glass. Place them in strong sunlight coming as straight down as possible. (Do this outside at noon if you need to.) Position the glass so that the sun rays go through the water and hit the mirror. Hold the white paper vertically off to one side, so the seven colors of the rainbow are produced on it.
b. Now stir the water gently with the pencil and watch what happens on the paper or wall. What happens? Can you think of a reason why?
the light is bent after passing through the water and then it is reflected off of the mirror. The bending of the light is due to the prismatic nature of water molecules.
at rest the water acts like a single "entity" acting as one prism...when you stir it, it stops acting as one prism and starts acting as millions of little prisms bending light all over the place and not in any defined direction
when you stir, the rainbow goes away, reason is above
