Raindrops and Dispersion
Fu-Kwun Hwang, National Taiwan University Department of Physics. http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ Demonstrates how a ray of sunlight is refracted, reflected and dispersed when it strikes a spherical raidrop, producing multiple rainbows. This is an animation of a problem originally solved by Newton in his book Opticks.
