When droplets of water in the atmosphere act like prisms the colors in sunlight undergo?

a phenomenon called dispersion. This causes the different wavelengths of light to separate, resulting in the formation of a rainbow. The droplets act as miniature prisms, bending and reflecting light to create the distinctive bands of colors.


Is a rainbow a structure?

No, a rainbow is light reflecting off water droplets and moisture in the air.. That is why they are normally seen after rainfall. RAINbow. And there is a biblical story behind rainbows talking about how they came to be and what they mean.


What is the difference between primary rain bow and secondary rain bow?

Rainbows are formed when light is reflected and refracted around the inside of water droplets. When the droplets get to a certain size, the light is reflected an additional time, creating a secondary rainbow.The reason you see both a primary and a secondary rainbow (or even higher orders of rainbow) is that the water droplets which are reflecting the light have different sizes. Some of them are large enough to fit the extra reflection inside them, whereas some are not.

Why do rainbows form in misty water?

When the water droplets are in the air, light from the sun passes through them, and because of their small size and refractive properties, the water droplets break the sunlight into its constituent colors of light at different wavelengths.
