Question

#5 reflection and refraction what occurs when light enters a raindrop to form a rainbow? a. both reflection & refraction b. reflection only c. refraction only d. none of the above

Explanation:

When white sunlight enters a raindrop, it first bends (refracts) as it moves from air into water, splitting into its component colors. The light then reflects off the inner surface of the raindrop, and finally refracts again as it exits the raindrop back into the air, forming a visible rainbow. So both reflection and refraction are involved.

Answer:

A. Both reflection & refraction
