Rainbow Physics & Criminal Justice

Power Point that explains the physics of a rainbow. What is a rainbow? What will affect if you see a rainbow or two? What do dispersion, refraction, and reflection have to do with rainbows?

Technical violations of parole, such as failing to inform a parole officer about a change in residence, contribute significantly to prison overcrowding. Evaluate the effectiveness of returning parolees to prison for technical violations. Should there be more leniency in handling these cases, or is strict enforcement necessary to maintain public safety and the integrity of the parole system? Discuss the benefits and problems associated with strict enforcement of technical violations, considering the potential impact on recidivism rates, prison overcrowding, and the successful reintegration of parolees into society. Be sure to include examples from the textbook in your answer.

Victims of violence by intimate partners and family. In your opinion, what are the key issues with this topic?

(Rituals of Strain, IPV, and Familicide) Our argument is that structural factors are often overlooked. After addressing that question, watch the video below.

What about disadvantages?

PowerPoint Explanation — Physics of a Rainbow (general guidance)

Slide 1 — What is a rainbow?
A rainbow is a meteorological and optical phenomenon caused by sunlight interacting with water droplets in the atmosphere. When sunlight enters the droplet, it bends (refraction), separates into different wavelengths (dispersion), reflects off the inner surface of the droplet, and then refracts again as it exits. The result is a circular arc of colors typically seen opposite the sun. Primary rainbows show red on the outer edge and violet on the inner edge because each wavelength of light bends at a slightly different angle.

Slide 2 — Why you may see one or two rainbows
A single rainbow results from one internal reflection inside the water droplet. A double rainbow forms when the light reflects twice. The second reflection reverses the color order, so the secondary rainbow appears dimmer and shows red on the inner edge and violet on the outer. Whether you see one or two depends on the number of reflections, droplet size, and viewing geometry. Sun angle matters: rainbows are often visible when sunlight is low (morning or late afternoon).
