$\huge\bold\color{aqua}{Answer}$

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.

$\huge\star{\mathbb\red{answer}}$

• 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.
• During a formation of a rainbow, the phenomena of dispersion,refraction and internal reflection are involved.

Explanation:

The Steps Involed in the Process

Light from Sun strikes raindrop.

Some of the light is reflected.

The rest of the light is refracted.

Light splits into component colours.

Reflected at rear of raindrop (TIR)

Refracted again as it leaves raindrop.

Colours are further dispersed.
