6. Why is red colour always seen on top while blue is at the bottom of a rainbow? A. Red has a long wavelength so it moves faster and is refracted the least by water droplets in the air. B. Blue has a long wavelength so it moves faster and is refracted the most by water droplets in the air. C. Blue has a short wavelength so it moves faster and is refracted the most by droplets of water in the atmosphere. D. Red has a short wavelength so it moves faster and is refracted the least by droplets of water in the atmosphere.
