Thread Name: BS: A red rainbow!
Subject: RE: BS: A red rainbow!
The rainbow is white light split up according to wavelength by the refraction of water droplets. If the source of light is red (missing other colours) then only red will be present in the rainbow.

How red the rainbow is will be decided by the saturation of the light source.
