 Q1.) Analyse why red sunsets can sometimes be more impressive when there is more dust or pollution in the air than usual.

 

Red sunsets can sometimes be more impressive when there is more dust or pollution in the air than usual because the light rays get refracted which shows the spectrums. The spectrums have a lot of colours so it looks more impressive like a rainbow.

 

Q2.) 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 thing that happens inside water droplets to cause a rainbow is that the light is refracted and internally reflected which shows the illusion. You can tell whether a rainbow is a primary or a secondary because a primary rainbow would always have the colours of the spectrum in order- from red to violet, but a secondary rainbow would contract and be in different orders.
