Q

• It is formed when sunlight passes through water droplets suspended in air after a rain shower.
• The droplet acting like a mini prism also disperses the light.
• Light from the sun enters a spherical raindrop, and the different colors are refracted at different angles, reflected off back of the drop, and then bent again when they emerge from the drop.
