Answer:
Light will be reflected back if it strikes the rear of a raindrop at an angle greater than 48 degrees.
Explanation:
- Water has a critical angle of 48 degrees (which would apply to raindrops) (relative to the normal).
- Light reflects off the back of the drop if the angle between the refracted light and the normal to the surface of the drop is greater than a critical angle.
- The light will just pass through if the angle is less than 48 degrees.
- As it exits the drop, the reflected light is refracted. Violet light (which bends more) emerges at a 40 degree angle from incoming sunlight, while red light (which bends less) emerges at a 42 degree angle.
- Other rainbow colors leave a raindrop at an angle somewhere in the middle. The rainbow we see is a concentration of light rays.
