History Of Science

Scientific paper

In history of physics, there are different opinions on who explained the dispersion of light for the first time, regarding the formation of a rainbow. European textbooks on history of physics state that the first explanation on the formation of a rainbow was given by the European scientist in the 16th and 17th century, but other authors say that the formation of rainbow was first explained by Persian mathematician and physicist al-Farisi (1260-1320). This paper presents a contemporary interpretation of the formation of a rainbow, explanations given by certain European scientist in 16th and 17th century and al-Farisi's explanations from the beginning of the 14th century.
