In summary, the conversation is about a student needing help choosing a topic for a powerpoint or report on a physics class. They ask for ideas from others and someone suggests explaining a rainbow, which the student finds interesting. They mention that there are different types of rainbows and suggest covering the physics behind a basic rainbow and its variations.

Hey guys, I need to make a powerpoint/write a report on any topic related to physics, but I'm having a hard time choosing. This is for my AP Physics class, and I was wondering if you guys could help me choose a topic! What would you be interested to learn/hear about for 15 minutes if you were in my class? lol. It's just a simple 15 minute powerpoint presentation on one topic. Anything come to mind that would be interesting/simple/not too complicated?

Thanks! :)

Yes it is! Especially since there are several kinds of rainbows. You could cover the physics behind a basic rainbow, and show some of the neat variations (like the rainbow ring you see around the shadow cast by your airplane in the clouds below you...
