Abstract

Previous laboratory observations with laser^1-3 and white light⁴ illumination of oblate drops of water have shown that the primary rainbow becomes distorted and an additional caustic, having the form of a transverse cusp, can be produced when the drop's aspect ratio is sufficiently large.
