THE VENUS FLY TRAP
The Venus flytrap is an insect-eating plant that lives mostly on
the East Coast. Found primarily in swampy parts of the United
States, like North and South Carolina, the Venus flytrap has
colorful pink and green hues. Like most other plants, Venus
flytraps get some nutrients from the soil, but since swampy
areas tend to have soil that is nutrient-poor, it is hard for the
plant to get nutrients from there. As a result, the flytrap has
evolved to not only rely on the soil to survive. The Venus
flytrap is a carnivorous plant because it catches insects and
eats them to get the nutrients that it can’t get from the soil.
The Venus flytrap has leaves that open to catch prey and then
snap shut once it’s ready to eat. On the inside of each leaf
there are short, stiff hairs called trigger hairs. When an insect
touches one of the three trigger hairs on either side of the leaf
twice in a row, it signals to the flytrap that dinner is here. The
leaves then snap shut, trapping the insect inside. Of course,
some insects are able to escape, but many don’t. And if they try
and struggle to get out, the trap closes even tighter! The trap
doesn’t close all the way, though. It stays open for a few
seconds, so smaller insects that might be trapped inside with
the main meal can crawl out. Venus flytraps don’t like to eat
small insects because they don’t provide a lot of nutritional
value. If it’s not an insect that is trapped, rather a nut or a
stone, the trap will open after about 12 hours and spit it out.
The inside of a flytrap has fingerlike tentacles that help keep
the insect from escaping. If you fold your hands together and
lace your fingers on the inside, you’ll get an idea of what the
trap looks like.
In order to digest or eat the insect, the flytrap must squeeze its
prey very tightly, as digestive juices dissolve the inside of the
insect. At the end of this process, which takes anywhere from 5
to 12 days, the trap opens up again, and either rain or wind
will carry the insect’s remaining exoskeleton away. If the
flytrap has caught an insect that is too big, and, say, the legs of
the bug are sticking out of the trap, the digestion process
might not happen the way it should. The trap will grow mold
and once that happens, it will continue to get sicker and sicker,
with the trap eventually turning black and falling off.
HOW ARE RAINBOWS FORMED??
Sunlight is composed of light of varying wavelengths. Short
wavelength light appears blue, violet and indigo, and long
wavelength light appears red, orange and yellow. When
sunlight enters a raindrop in the air, the light splits into a
multitude of colors. This light then reflects off the back of the
raindrop and re-emerges in the direction in which the light
first entered. The light emerging from many raindrops creates
a rainbow. Read on for a more detailed explanation.
Fact 1. Light travels in waves. The light's wavelength
determines its perceived color. Short wavelength light, for
example, appears blue, and long wavelength light appears red.

Fact 2. Sunlight is composed of light of many wavelengths. In
the range that we can see, this includes the colors of the
rainbow.

Fact 3. When light enters water it bends (refracts). The
amount of bending depends on the wavelength of light. As a
result, the light splits into its component colors.
water and air when light enters water it bends
When a ray of sunlight enters a raindrop it bends (refracts).
The light then strikes the back of the raindrop, where some of
the light passes through and some is reflected. As the light
exits the raindrop, it is refracted again. The angle at which the
light emerges depends on the wavelength of light. This path is
illustrated in the small box below, where only the bending of
two wavelengths (blue and red) are shown.
Consider now the diagram on the left. The sun is behind you
(white rays) and there is rain in front of you (black dots). As
the sunlight enters each raindrop, the light is refracted and
reflected as described above. Because the sun is so far away,
the rays of sunlight are nearly parallel to one another. As a
result, the angle between the red line and each ray of sunlight
striking a raindrop on that line will be the same. So, the light
that reaches your eye along this ray will be of the same
wavelength (color). The same is true for the yellow, blue and
intermediate lines corresponding to each color of the rainbow.
Consider now the diagram on the right which explains why the
colors of a rainbow form an arc. The angle between the
incoming rays of sunlight (white) and all of the red lines,
forming a circular cone, have the same angle. As a result, the
light that reaches your eye along these lines have the same
wavelength (color). The same is true for each band of the
rainbow.
The reason that rainbows are somewhat rare is that you will
only see them when there is rain in front of you and somewhat
in the distance, and the sun is behind you and fairly low on the
horizon.
