Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of exploring the phenomena of rainbows and secondary rainbows for teaching, and particularly relates to an experimental device for studying the phenomena and principles of rainbows and secondary rainbows. Background Art

[0002] Rainbows and secondary rainbows are generally explained as being formed due to the dispersion of sunlight, which is a natural phenomenon formed by the reflection and refraction of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere. Whenever it is sunny after rain, there is a large amount of moisture in the air, various dust and particulate matter are reduced, and visibility is improved. A colorful arc will appear in the sky opposite the sun. This is what we call a rainbow. Sometimes two such arcs can be seen. The one with red on the outside and purple on the inside, with bright colors, is called a "rainbow"; the one with red on the inside and purple on the outside, with lighter colors, is called a "secondary rainbow". The sunlight that undergoes one reflection in the water droplets is the rainbow, and the sunlight that undergoes two reflections in the water droplets is the secondary rainbow. The only difference between the secondary rainbow and the rainbow lies in the fact that the light undergoes two internal reflections within the raindrops. Currently, there is a large gap in the teaching experimental devices for rainbows and secondary rainbows. Most of the refraction media for teaching experiments are replaced by triangular prisms, and it is difficult to observe the phenomenon of the secondary rainbow with such devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, an experimental device for studying the phenomena and principles of rainbows and halos includes a light source, a carrier, and a refractive medium. The carrier includes a carrier table 6, a receiving light screen 5, and a measuring component. The receiving light screen 5 is arranged on the upper side of the carrier table 6, and the measuring component is movably arranged on the carrier table 6. A hole is arranged in the middle of the carrier table 6, and a refractive medium is arranged in the hole; the light source is arranged on one side of the carrier table 6, and the light emitted by the light source passes through the opening of the receiving light screen 5 and enters the refractive medium, where it is reflected, and then the light is transmitted from the refractive medium to the receiving light screen.

[0032] Among them, the light source is used to emit light to irradiate the refractive medium to form the phenomena of rainbows and halos. The hole in the carrier table 6 is a circular hole, the carrier table 6 is a circular carrier table, the center of the circular hole coincides with the center of the circular carrier table, and three supports 9 are arranged on the lower side of the circular carrier table. The lower side of the support 9 is connected to the support disk 10 to make the whole carrier table 6 more stable, and scale lines are arranged on the outer side of the carrier table 6. The carrier table 6 is mainly used to carry the receiving light screen 5 and the measuring component. The lower side of the carrier table 6 is fixedly supported by three supports 9, and a support disk 10 is fixed to the lower side of each support 9 to make the support 9 more stable. The receiving light screen 5 is a superior arc-shaped light screen, which is vertically arranged on the upper side of the circular carrier table, and the center of the superior arc-shaped light screen coincides with the center of the circular carrier table. The receiving light screen 5 is mainly used to receive the light passing through the refractive medium, facilitating the experimenter to observe the phenomena of rainbows and halos. The measuring component is mainly used to mark the light path and measure the included angle of the light. An opening is arranged on one side of the superior arc-shaped light screen, and the opening matches the laser light source generator 1. During use, the laser light source generator 1 is input into the spherical refractive medium 3 from the opening. The measuring component includes a scale disk guide rail 7, an optical path pointer 8, a polarizer 13, and a scale disk kit 14. The scale disk guide rail 7 is arranged on the outer side of the carrier table 6, and the inner edge of the scale disk guide rail 7 is arranged at the bottom edge of the receiving light screen 5. The scale disk kit 14 is movably arranged on the scale disk guide rail 7. The optical path pointer 8 is placed on the upper side of the carrier table 6. During the experiment, the experimenter adjusts the position of the optical path pointer 8 according to the experimental needs. The polarizer 13 is placed on the upper side of the carrier table 6. During the experiment, the experimenter can verify that the phenomena of rainbows and halos are both polarized light by adjusting the position of the polarizer 13. Among them, the scale disk guide rail 7 is mainly used to provide a moving track for the scale disk kit 14, and the optical path pointer 8 is mainly used to mark the path of the light transmitted from the refractive medium to the receiving light screen 5, facilitating the experimenter to more intuitively observe the optical path and measure the optical path angle. AsFigure 2 As shown, the dial kit 14 includes a dial 15 and a dial suspension nut 16. The dial suspension nut 16 is connected to the dial 15. A roller is provided below the dial suspension nut 16. The roller is arranged in the dial track 7, enabling the dial kit 14 to slide freely along the track 7.

[0033] Specifically, the light source is a laser light source generator 1. The laser light source generator 1 is movably arranged in the guide rail 2 through a bracket. The laser light source generator 1 is a dual-color laser that can emit red laser and white light. When the white light passes through the refraction medium, the phenomena of rainbow and secondary rainbow can occur. The propagation path of the red laser in the refraction medium is the same as that of the white light in the refraction medium. By using the red laser, the propagation path of the white light can be restored more clearly, facilitating the experimenter to measure the optical path. A fixed bracket is provided at the bottom of the laser light source generator 1, and the bottom of the bracket is movably connected to the guide rail 2, enabling the laser light source generator 1 to move linearly along the guide rail, thereby adjusting the angle and distance of the light entering the refraction medium, so that the experimenter can observe the phenomena of rainbow and secondary rainbow by adjusting the laser light source generator 1. As Figure 3 shown, the refraction medium includes a spherical refraction medium 3 and a mirror reflector 4. The mirror reflector 4 is movably arranged on the upper side of the spherical refraction medium 3. The spherical refraction medium 3 is arranged in the hole of the stage 6. A medium support 11 is provided on the lower side of the spherical refraction medium 3, and a lifting screw 12 is arranged on the medium support 11. The spherical refraction medium 3 is mainly used for refracting the incident light, the mirror reflector 4 is mainly used for reflecting the red laser, making the optical path more obvious, and the medium support 11 is mainly used for supporting the spherical refraction medium 3. A lifting screw 12 is arranged on the lower side support rod of the medium support 11. The experimenter can adjust the height of the spherical refraction medium 3 by adjusting the lifting screw 12.

[0034] The experimental principle of the present invention is as follows: It is formed due to the dispersion of sunlight, which is a natural phenomenon formed by the reflection and refraction of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere. Whenever it rains and clears up, the atmosphere is fresh, there is a large amount of moisture in the air, various dust and dust particles decrease, and the visibility improves. A colored arc will appear in the sky opposite the sun. This is what we call a rainbow. Sometimes two such arcs can be seen. The one with red on the outside and purple on the inside, with bright colors, is called the "rainbow"; the one with red on the inside and purple on the outside, with lighter colors, is called the "secondary rainbow". The sunlight that undergoes one reflection in the water droplet is the rainbow, and the sunlight that undergoes two reflections in the water droplet is the secondary rainbow. The only difference between the secondary rainbow and the rainbow is that the light undergoes two internal reflections in the raindrop. Therefore, when the light reaches our eyes after passing through the raindrop, the light arc color band is exactly opposite to that of the rainbow. From the perspective of experimental measurement, the observation elevation angle of the rainbow is 40.5° - 42°, while the observation elevation angle of the secondary rainbow is 50.5° - 53°.

[0035] From Figure 5 it can be known that according to the law of refraction of light:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] θ = 4β - 2α (3)

[0039] Simultaneously solving equations (2) and (3) gives:

[0040]

[0041] The extreme value of α can be calculated by taking the derivative to obtain If the refractive index of water n = 1.3333, α = 59.4°, θ = 42.0°; for the calculation of the secondary rainbow, similarly, α = 71.8°, β = 51.0°.

[0042] According to Figure 4 , the light source emits white light and enters the refractive medium. The light is refracted at point ① to produce a refracted ray a. The refracted ray a is then reflected and refracted at point ② to form a reflected ray b and a refracted ray respectively. In order to increase the light intensity of the reflected ray and make the phenomenon of the rainbow more obvious, we add a specular reflection sheet outside the medium at point ② to weaken the light intensity of the refracted ray. The reflected ray b is reflected and refracted at point ③ to produce a refracted ray c and a reflected ray d. The refracted ray c hits the light screen, and the phenomenon of the rainbow can be observed; similarly, in the experiment of observing the secondary rainbow phenomenon, in order to enhance the reflection of the reflected ray b in the medium, a specular reflection sheet is also added outside the medium at point ③ to increase the light intensity of the reflected ray d. The reflected ray d is refracted at point ④ to produce a refracted ray e. The refracted ray e hits the light screen, and the secondary rainbow can be observed.

[0043] The usage method of an experimental device for studying the phenomena and principles of the rainbow and the secondary rainbow is as follows:

[0044] S1: Turn on the dual-color laser so that the dual-color laser emits white light. The white light is projected onto the receiving light screen 5 through the spherical refractive medium 3. The experimental personnel control the movement of the laser light source generator 1 through the guide rail 2, and at the same time observe the projected light of the white light on the receiving light screen 5. When the white light is refracted in the spherical refractive medium 3 to produce the rainbow and the secondary rainbow, and obvious optical phenomena of the rainbow and the secondary rainbow appear in the projected light, the experimental personnel should stop moving the laser light source generator 1.

[0045] S2: Observe the light path inside the spherical refractive medium 3. At the refraction point, that is, as Figure 4Install a mirror reflector 4 at point ② as shown to prevent incomplete light reflection and ensure that the rainbow phenomenon can be clearly displayed on the receiving light screen 5. Adjust the dual-color laser so that it outputs red laser light, and observe the light path of the red laser in the spherical refraction medium 3. The path passed by the red laser is the same as the path passed by the white light propagation. Use the red laser to make the light path clearer and easier to observe. The experimenter observes and records the emergence point I of the rainbow, which is the Figure 4 point ③ as shown, and the emergence point Ⅱ of the secondary rainbow, which is the Figure 4 point ④ as shown.

[0046] S3: Adjust the height of the lifting rod 17 of the light source generator so that the light emitted by the dual-color laser is on the same plane as the stage 6. Record the projection point I of the simulated rainbow and the projection point Ⅱ of the simulated secondary rainbow on the receiving light screen 5. Move the dial 15 to the position where the projection point I is located, and align the 0 scale line of the dial 15 with the scale line of the stage 6. Place one end of the moving light path pointer 8 at the emergence point I recorded in step S2, and set the other end of the moving light path pointer 8 at the 0 scale line of the dial 15. Read and record the included angle between the 0 scale line of the dial 15 and the moving light path pointer 8 as the simulated angle of the rainbow. Move the dial 15 to the position where the projection point Ⅱ is located, and align the 0 scale line of the dial 15 with the scale line of the stage 6. Place one end of the moving light path pointer 8 at the emergence point Ⅱ recorded in step S2, and set the other end of the moving light path pointer 8 at the 0 scale line of the dial 15. Read and record the included angle between the 0 scale line of the dial 15 and the moving light path pointer 8 as the simulated angle of the secondary rainbow. In step S3, different materials of spherical refraction media 3 can be replaced to observe the corresponding angles of the rainbow and secondary rainbow imaging under different media. When the selected spherical refraction medium 3 is glass with a refractive index of n = 1.333, the measured simulated angle of the rainbow should be 40°, and the simulated angle of the secondary rainbow should be 50°.

[0047] S4: Adjust the dual-color laser so that it outputs white light, and determine and record the phenomenon point I of the rainbow on the receiving light screen 5. The phenomenon point I here is the true phenomenon point of the rainbow phenomenon.

[0048] S5: Move the dial set 14 along the dial guide rail 7 to the projection point Ⅱ. Adjust the 0 scale line of the dial 15 to be parallel to the scale line of the stage 6. Set one end of the light path pointer 8 at the emergence point I, and set the other end of the light path pointer 8 at the projection point Ⅱ. Move the other end of the light path pointer 8 to the 0 scale line of the dial 15, and read the included angle between the 0 scale line of the dial 15 and the moving light path pointer 8. Record this angle as the included angle of the rainbow phenomenon. The simulated angle should be the same as the included angle of the rainbow phenomenon.

[0049] S6: Place the light-shielding sheet at the exit point I to prompt light reflection, making the phenomenon of secondary rainbow more obvious and avoiding the difficulty in observing the secondary rainbow. Observe and record the phenomenon point II of the secondary rainbow on the receiving light screen 5. The phenomenon point II here is the true phenomenon point of the secondary rainbow phenomenon.

[0050] S7: Move the dial set 14 along the dial guide rail 7 to the phenomenon point II. Adjust the 0 scale line of the dial 15 to be parallel to the scale line of the stage 6. One end of the optical path pointer 8 is set at the exit point II, and the other end of the optical path pointer 8 is set at the phenomenon point II. Move the other end of the optical path pointer 8 to the 0 scale line of the dial 15, and read the included angle between the 0 scale line of the dial 15 and the moved optical path pointer 8. Record this angle as the included angle of the secondary rainbow phenomenon. The simulated angle should be the same as the included angle of the secondary rainbow phenomenon.

[0051] S8: Adjust the two-color laser to output red laser. A polarizer 13 is set on the path of the red laser from the spherical refraction medium 3 to the receiving light screen 5. Adjust the two-color laser to output white light and adjust the angle of the polarizer 13 to observe the phenomena of primary rainbow and secondary rainbow. After appropriately adjusting the polarizer 13, the experimenter can find that the primary rainbow and secondary rainbow cannot be observed on the receiving screen, and it is concluded that the primary rainbow and secondary rainbow are linearly polarized light, and the incident angle is deduced to be the Brewster angle of the corresponding medium.

[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
