A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when light is reflected, refracted, and dispersed in water droplets, resulting in a spectrum of light seen in the sky. It is shaped like a multicolored circular arc. Which of the following is TRUE regarding a process involved in rainbow formation? The refracted rays leaving the water droplet deviate from the original path of the incident light. The incident rays deviate from the boundary line of the water droplet at a certain angle of refraction. Various colors of light are reflected at different angles because of the refraction index of water. . Reflection produces different path for each color passing into the water droplets.

Refraction of Light

Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.

Angle of Refraction

Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.

Index of Refraction of Diamond

Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.
