Expert Solution
Introduction:
  • Rainbows are created due to reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets. It forms a spectrum of light as a circular arc in the sky.

 

  • When light enters a water droplet due to refraction the light is split into different colors which then get reflected out of it.

 

  • The rainbow forms a circle but only the arc is visible from the ground.
