If light traveled at the same speed in raindrops as it does in air could rainbows exist?

No as it is the light refracting (slowing down) through the raindrops. The different colours in the white light travel at different speeds through the raindrop, which causes them to split up into the different colours of the rainbow. Obviously if the light didn't slow down it would continue as white light.


What tools can be used to break up white light?

Breaking of white lights means dispersion of light in which the white light or the visible light splits into 7 colors. Many tools may be used to break up the white light but among them one of them is Prism. It can break up the white lights into 7 colors. Keep a white paper in front of the prism and the prism in the sun due to which the sunlight coming from the sun passes through the prism and the white breaks up into 7 colors due to change in velocity of the different invisible lights inside the white or the visible light. Other tools like plastic scale or ruler also can be used to break up the white light. Thank you

What affect does a different colored light bulb have on a prism?

A prism will split light into its component colors. If a colored light is used, there will be less colors in the split light. A beam from a red light for instance will have very little blue or green light in it so you will not get the full spectrum from the prism.
