White light contains all wavelengths of colors. To make a rainbow, you need to separate those wavelengths (colors). This is accomplished by bending, or diffracting light. Different wavelengths of light are bent differently when they are passed through a transparent prism. When they are bent diffrently, they start to separate from one another and become visible to the eye as different colors.

Another name for rainbow?
A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow that occurs at night. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light from the Moon. As with rainbows, they are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon. It is difficult to discern colors in a moonbow because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in our eyes. However, the colors appear in long exposure photographs. A colored circle around the moon is not a moonbow - it is usually a 22

Why is a rainbow called a rainbow?
A rainbow is called a rainbow because it is a colorful arc of light that forms in the sky when sunlight is refracted, or bent, by raindrops in the atmosphere. The different colors of the rainbow are caused by the sunlight being split into its various wavelengths as it passes through the raindrops.
How white light light makes a rainbow?
White light, if passing through a prism, can make a rainbow via the optics phenomenon known as dispersion.
What do the colors of the rainbow make?
The colors of the rainbow combine to make white light. Each color has a different wavelength, and when they are all combined, they create the full spectrum of colors that make up white light.
How does white and water make a rainbow?

What does a prism do to white light?
It separates the light by their wavelengths to make a color spectrum, and gives one a rainbow.

What happens when you make a rainbow with the help of a glass of water and sunlight?
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.

The colours of white light are all of the colors that make up a rainbow. White light is actually a mixture of all colors.
