Formation of rainbow is a cyclic change or not ?
Answers
Answer:
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:
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.
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 as a circular arc in the sky. It is often visible after rainfall due to highly humid atmosphere and absence of air pollution.
Primary Rainbow:
A rainbow occurs when light hits the water drops in the atmosphere at a certain angle. It is an atmospheric phenomenon that is formed through optical processes such as refraction, dispersion, internal reflection and secondary refraction.
If the light source is the sun, then the rainbow will be colorful and bright. As shown in Fig. when a beam of sunlight enters the water drop the degree of refraction of the different colors is variable. Violet light has the shortest wavelength therefore, its degree of refraction is also the greatest; red light has a longer wavelength therefore its degree of refraction is the smallest. The degrees of refraction of the other colors lie within this range.
Therefore, a solar halo with violet light in the innermost and red at the outermost edge is formed, and that's why the rainbow we see is always violet on the inside and red on the outside. The visual angle (the angle from the ground surface to the vertex of the rainbow) is about 42
Secondary Rainbow:
A secondary rainbow is different from a primary rainbow only in that it is formed by secondary reflection of light within the raindrops. Therefore, when we see the light reflected by the raindrops the spectrum of the light is the exact opposite from that of a primary rainbow, which means the secondary rainbow is red on the inside and violet on the outside. It has a visual angle of about 50 and is concentric with the primary rainbow.
