Abstract

This article, titled "Colorful dew drops," discusses the phenomenon of dew and its visual appeal. Dew is formed when the humidity in the air condenses into droplets due to a decrease in temperature or contact with cold surfaces. The author presents a photograph of dew drops with the sun shining from behind, revealing colors caused by light refraction and observation angle, similar to a rainbow. The article is part of a series called Visual Physics, which showcases photographs that demonstrate physics concepts. The author of the article is Francisco Jose Torcal-Milla.
