Question

What is the full form of rainbow

Answer 1

It is formed due to scattering of light through moisture present in air. When white light is passed through water droplets present in air, it gets dispersed into seven colours i.e, violet,indigo,blue,green,yellow,orange and red.Actually rainbow is formed around the earth that means it is round in shape. But due to our restricted eye focal length we can see it  in the shape of downward parabola.
