The Rainbow - Aristotle's Theory

In about 300BC Greek philosopher Aristotle proposed a theory to why the rainbow has such a specific shape.

For centuries the rainbow has been an object of wonder for scientists and mathematicians. It has taken 2000 years to discover many of its secrets. This series uses 3D imagery to explain exactly how light is deflected off rain droplets to form the bow like shape we see.

This material forms part of The Open University 2009 course MU120 Open Mathematics.
