Rainbow is produced when sunlight falls on drops of rain. Which of the following physical phenomena are responsible for this ?

1) Diffusion

2) Refraction

3) Internal reflection

1, 2 & 3

1 & 2

2 & 3

1 & 3

- A rainbow is formed when sunlight interacts with raindrops in the atmosphere.

- Refraction: The sunlight enters the raindrop and bends. This bending of light is called refraction.

- Internal Reflection: Inside the drop, the light is reflected off the inner surface. This is known as internal reflection.

- Diffusion is not involved in the formation of a rainbow.

Options:

- Option 1: 1, 2 & 3 – Involves diffusion, which is incorrect.

- Option 2: 1 & 2 – Involves diffusion, which is incorrect.

- Option 3: 2 & 3 – Involves refraction and internal reflection.

- Option 4: 1 & 3 – Involves diffusion, which is incorrect.
