00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In this YouTube video, Beakman clarifies that a rainbow is formed by light reflected and modified by raindrops, and not by small pieces of glass in the sky. He demonstrates how light passes through water to create a prism and provides a mnemonic device to remember the order of the colors in a rainbow. Beakman explains that the colors of the rainbow are not the only ones that exist, as there are invisible ones such as infrared and ultraviolet rays, which he demonstrates with an experiment using two mirrors and a control. He emphasizes that these phenomena can be explained through scientific principles and are not magic.

The colors of the rainbow are always red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, in that order. Lester had mistakenly thought that a rainbow was formed by small pieces of glass in the sky, but Beakman corrects him, saying that it's actually the trillions of small prisms, or raindrops, that cause the phenomenon. Beakman demonstrates how light passes through water to create a prism with a homemade setup of a plastic container of water and a mirror. He also provides a mnemonic device to remember the order of the colors in the rainbow.
• 00:05:00 In this section, Beakman explains that the colors of the rainbow are not the only colors that exist, as there are also some invisible ones, such as infrared and ultraviolet rays. He demonstrates how infrared rays can be used in everyday life, such as in remote controls. He also conducts an experiment using two mirrors and a control to show how infrared rays can be reflected and used to turn off a TV. Beakman emphasizes that science is not magic and that such phenomena can be explained through scientific principles.
