Double Rainbow over Torquay
This double rainbow over Torquay occurred in the early evening hence it was very low in the sky. The primary rainbow is due to total internal reflection within the water droplets and forms at an angle of approx. 48 degrees. The secondary rainbow, which is an inversion of the primary, is the result of double internal reflection. Because most of the light has generated to primary, the secondary rainbow is much weaker. The application of the light to produce the rainbows results in less direct transmission through the raindrops hence the sky outside of the rainbows appears darker.
