Rainbow is a seven colours band VIBGYOR that we see often in rainy season. It is due to dispersion, reflection and refraction of light.
A rainbow is an optical and meteorogical phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
