In a double rainbow, however, a second reflection of light occurs within the water droplet. This additional reflection results in the formation of a secondary, fainter rainbow outside the primary one.

Inside the water droplet, the light is reflected off the inner surface. This internal reflection causes the light to exit the droplet at a different angle, breaking the light into its full ...

Light waves confined in an evaporating water droplet provide a useful model of the quantum behaviour of atoms, researchers in Sweden and Mexico have discovered. Through a simple experiment, a team led ...

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a new ...

By then adding or removing water from the droplet on the slide, the magnifying power of the liquid lens could be changed and controlled. New liquid lenses for commercial products "Various surface ...

“Since a water droplet is about 100,000 times larger than an atom, we get a model of an atom that is visible to the naked eye, an ‘optical atom’,” says Javier Marmolejo. Laser spectroscopy generates ...
