Journal Entry Week 3

1. Analyse why red sunsets can sometimes be more impressive when there is more dust or pollution in the air than usual.

 They are more impresive when there is no dust or pollution in the air because the light rays refracts and can discolour the light off the pollution and dust particles which prevents the full effect of the sunset.

1. Describe what happens inside water droplets to cause a rainbow and explain how you can tell whether a rainbow is a primary or secondary.

the white light goes through the falling water droplets then it  reflects and refracts to cause the spectrum to appear.

You can tell if a rainbow is primary or secondary by the colours they are in from top to bottom. A primary rainbow will have red on top and a secondary rainbow will have violet on top.
