This print titled "Newtons Rings on Clouds" captures a mesmerizing optical effect caused by the interference of light. The image showcases a stunning display of colorful rings, resembling a rainbow, against the backdrop of fluffy clouds. The phenomenon known as Newtons Rings occurs when light reflects from a hemispherical surface and interacts with a flat plane, resulting in concentric circles or rings. This intriguing effect is often seen through photographic lenses and can create beautiful patterns that resemble halos or fringes. In this photograph, the vibrant colors of the spectrum are vividly displayed within each ring, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. The intricate circles seem to dance across the clouds, adding an ethereal touch to the natural scenery. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the wonders that exist within our world's phenomena. It serves as a reminder that even in everyday occurrences like cloud formations, there is hidden beauty waiting to be discovered. Through its perfect composition and impeccable timing, this print not only showcases scientific principles but also evokes awe and appreciation for nature's ability to create breathtaking optical illusions.
