Is rainbow caused by Tyndall effect?

A rainbow is caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light in water droplets in the atmosphere, not by the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles in a transparent medium, like dust particles in the air or protein molecules in milk.
