Mildly off topic, for what I think is the best material on rainbows check out this lecture (and the entire 801+802 courses by Walter Lewin)

In his last lecture he mentions that the best part of teaching is when a student sends them a photo of a rainbow 10 years after graduating, saying that they remember the whole physics behind it.

Same for me. I think of the cones of light being formed when I see the rainbow and that amazing lecture.
