GeoGebra Buch: Rainbow Physics and Mathematics

A rainbow comprises many phenomena. The physical principals involved include Snell's Law of Refraction and equal angle reflection. The mathematics of this analysis involves geometry, algebra, and a little calculus. I present a full analysis of the primary bow, a partial analysis of the secondary bow. These can be extended to an infinite sequence of bows of decreasing brilliance.
