Physics of Rainbows

Physics Ninja looks at the Physics of Rainbows.   I calculate the maximum angle of deviation for light entering a water droplet at an arbitrary angle.  Snell's Law and some geometrical relationships are used to find the maximum angle of deviation.  The results are used to explain the color sequence of the main bow of a rainbow.
