Why is rainbow seen after rain?
After a rainfall, the clouds break and lie hanging
in the sky and the sun is also visible. The Sun’s rays,
falling on the water drops, are dispersed, totally
reflected at the back of the drops and then again
refracted into the eye of the observer with his back
towards the sun. These dispersed rays which have
suffered deviation give rise to a concentrated beam of
light indicating all the colours of light.
