Question

What is the correct order in which the following processes occur when a rainbow is formed after a rain shower? 

A. dispersion 

B. refraction 

c. total internal refraction 

D. refraction

  1. BACD
  2. ABCD
  3. DCBA
  4. BCDA

hintHint:

First refraction occurs in order to form a rainbow. The white light enters the water droplets.

The correct answer is: BACD


    Refraction causes light to travel in a bend path inside the water droplets, whereas dispersion scatters the different colored light to form a rainbow followed by dispersion , then total internal refraction and at last refraction takes place splitting all the colors of the white light resulting in forming a rainbow.

    Hence, the correct option is a)BACD.
