Due to refraction of sun light through the hanging droplets of water we get a chance of viewing the attractive rainbow.

What is a example of light refacting?
A rainbow happens when sunlight is refracted by drops of water in the air.
What cause the rainbow?
The colors of the rainbow are all present in sunlight, but mixed together. As sunlight passes through small water droplets in foggy air, the water droplets act as lenses which alter the direction of the light, and which affect different colors to different degrees, thereby breaking up the white light into a spectrum.
What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
The light will bend as it passes through.
Why does the stick appear to be broken?
Light is refracted as it passes through the water.
Sunlight is slowed most when traveling through?
Sunlight is slowed MOST when traveling through water
Why can you see a rainbow when sunlight is refracted through water droplets?
i think becauseof a light pyrimaid
True or false A rainbow is a spectrum of light that appears when the sun shines onto water droplets in the air?
True, or more correctly, when the sunlight is refracted through the water droplets.
If a rainbow is refracted sunlight why is it such a neat circle instead of looking scattered?
Because when sunlight gets refracted through water droplets in the air, the different wavelengths are refracted a precise amount in relation to each color that gets separated. The reason you see a circle, or arc, is because it came from a single source, the sun.
Why must there be sunshine and rain in order to for a rainbow to be seen?
The sunlight whenpassing through water droplets in air is refracted into different colours making a rainbow. Sunlight (white light) is composed of visible rays at different frequencies. Different frequencies bend when passing through water at different angles and can be seen separately.
Use rainbow in a sentence?
After the storm, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky, bringing color and hope to the dreary landscape.
Why do you see rainbow in the sky?
You see a rainbow in the sky because of the interaction of sunlight with water droplets in the air. When sunlight passes through the water droplets, it is refracted (bent) and dispersed, creating the different colors of the rainbow.
Does a rainbow occur because sunlight is selectively absorbed by water in the raindrops or because it is refracted by water in the raindrops?
Rainbows are the result of sunlight being refracted by drops of water in the air.
Why can a sunlight form a rainbow?
The sunlight has to be refracted by water drops in order for the sunlight to form a rainbow.
Why do rainbow occur?
Rainbows are caused by light refracting off moisture drops in the air and the colors are caused by the fact different colours ( wavelengths) of light are refracted by different amounts A rainbow is caused by light being refracted from tiny water droplets in the air. When it rains or there is a mist all the tiny water droplets refract sunlight
How do you get a rainbow?
A rainbow is the result of white sunlight being split up (refracted) into it's separate colours by the denser water droplets floating in air and then reflected back towards the source (the sun) by the surface of water droplets behind. The bow shape represents the perspective from the spectator, who has to be in between the source and the cloud of droplets to see a full rainbow.
Can you land on a rainbow?
Uummm, no. A rainbow is only a refraction of sunlight through micro droplets of water in the atmosphere.
Which two phenomena of light lead to the formation of rainbow when sunlight go through the water droplets?
Reflection and refraction.
