The Physics Of Rainbows Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

The Physics of Rainbows

To Physics nature simply bows
Check out the formation of rainbows
Before water falls due to precipitation
It must rise up and make condensation
Going through evaporation
Using the current of its convection
Now wait for the formation of rainbows
The Physics of which nature bows

When the rain seizes to fall
Cloudy water droplets hang up there all
Sunlight breaks out for illumination
Passing through water droplets by refraction
They are transparent giving little reflection
It is a process of absorption
The cloud holds the droplets all
Once the rain seizes to fall

Now see what happens to white light
You already know it shines bright
It breaks into seven colors by dispersion
From one to seven in an expansion
Very beautiful by any measure of coloration
Look up and share in the admiration
It surely shines very bright
Revealing what constitutes white light

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green come first
Blue, Indigo and Violet take last
Red has the least of the frequencies
Green is the middle of all the constancies
Violet's wavelength is the smallest in the compliances
Speed of all is constant but different are the energies
Before rainbow rain comes first
The spectrum begins with red and violet comes last.
