Question

Which of the following processes is responsible for splitting white light into its constituent colors when it is passed through a raindrop?

  1. Reflection
  2. Refraction 
  3. Dispersion 
  4. Diffraction

hintHint:

Refraction

The correct answer is: Refraction


    When light enters a water droplet, it is first dispersed due to refraction.
    Hence, a rainbow is formed due to refraction, dispersion and reflection of the sunlight that passes through the water droplets present in the atmosphere.
