Question

explain the formation of the rainbow ​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Rainbows are formed by atmospheric refraction.
• After the rain, the drops of water in the atmosphere act like small triangular prisms that disperse white sunlight into a wide spectrum.
• This spectrum causes the colour of rainbow after rain.

Answer 2

formation of rainbow

Explanation:

A rainbow is caused by sunlight and atmospheric conditions. Light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water. The light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths--or colors. When light exits the droplet, it makes a rainbow.
