How light disperse through a drop of water?

When a beam of light enters a drop of water, it refracts (bends) and separates into its different colors due to the water's density and properties. This dispersion creates a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow. The light is then reflected off the back of the drop and exits in various directions, forming the familiar arc shape of a rainbow.
