Question

You take a picture of a rainbow with an infrared camera, and your friend takes a picture at the same time with visible light.
Part A:Is the height of the rainbow in the infrared picture greater than, less than, or the same as the height of the rainbow in the visible-light picture?
Part B:Choose the best explanation from among the following:

The height will be less because infrared light is below the visible spectrum.

A rainbow is the same whether seen in visible light or infrared; therefore the height is the same.

The height will be greater because the top of a rainbow is red, and so infrared light would be even higher.

Explanation / Answer

The height will be greater because the top of a rainbow is red, and so infrared light would be even higher.
