Question
How are rainbows formed?
Multiple choice question.
The Sun produces the separate colors of light seen in rainbows, but the atmosphere blends the light together except during rainstorms.
The electrical energy from lightning separates white light by wavelength into the colors.
As white light passes through water droplets, different wavelengths are refracted by different amounts producing the separate colors in a rainbow.

The correct answer is:
**As white light passes through water droplets, different wavelengths are refracted by different amounts producing the separate colors in a rainbow.**
This process involves refraction, dispersion, and reflection, which together create the spectrum of colors that we see in a rainbow.
