Refraction gives you the colours of the rainbow, and reflection gives you its round shape. Refraction and colour When you are out on a bright sunny day, it may look like sunlight is all one colour.

According to the World Meteorological Organization, a photometer is “an optical phenomenon produced by the reflection, refraction, diffraction or interference of light from the sun or the moon.

Reflection, refraction, diffraction, oh my! Dive into the wonderful world of electromagnetic radiation–i.e., the energy that travels through space in waves, like x-rays, microwaves and good old ...

Reflection and refraction are the two main aspects of geometric optics. ... Physical optics covers topics such as diffraction, polarization, interference and various types of scattering.

A 2012 satellite photo captured an unusual "double rainbow" glory appearing next to an unconnected chain of rare vortices in the clouds above Mexico's Guadalupe Island.
