All rainbow require the presence of the sun and rain, in order to see a rainbow. The sun must be to the viewers back, and rain must be falling ahead of the viewer. Rainbow will only occur at exact angle of 48 degrees, anything less than that, then light will simply pass through. As sunlight breaks through the clouds and beams towards the raindrops, some of the light bends-this process is called "refraction". This refraction causes the light to separate in different colors. The refracted light waves then bounce-or being reflected again-off the circular edge of the raindrop, and then they refract again as they exit the raindrop and travel through air. Because raindrops are mostly round when sunlight refracts through them, the visual effect is a spherical arc that soars above the sky.

These refraction and reflection process described above creates a primary and secondary rainbow. The first and brighter is called the primary rainbow. The second and more faint rainbow is the secondary rainbow, it occurs when the refracted light does not escaped the raindrop after being reflected the first time. Instead, the refracted light reflects off the raindrop's surface a second time, producing a secondary rainbow with its color reversed compared to the primary rainbow. There are only fewer light ray available to undergo the additional refraction process, so the resulting secondary rainbow appears less vivid.

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.

Place several e-field sensors at a few points on different equipotential lines, and look at the relationship between the electric field and the equipotential lines. which statement is true? 1-at any point, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential line at that point, and it is directed toward lines of higher voltages. 2-at any point, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential line at that point, and it is directed toward lines of lower voltages. 3-at any point, the electric field is parallel to the equipotential line at that point.
