Explain the formation of rainbow?
Answers
Answer:
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

Explanation:
A rainbow is a natural spectrum of sunlight in the form of bows appearing in the sky when the sun shines on rain drops.
It is combined result of reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight from water droplets, in atmosphere.
Always it formed in the direction opposite to the sun.
To see a rainbow, the sun must be behind us and the water droplets falling in front of us.
When a sunlight enters into a spherical rain drop, it is refracted and dispersed. The different colours of light bent in different angles.
When different colours of light fall on the back inner surface of drop, it (water drop) reflects (different colours of light) internally (total internal reflection).
The water drops again refracts the different colours, when it comes out from the raindrop.
After leaving this different colours from the raindrop as rainbow, reach our eye. Thus, we see a rainbow.
