Rainbows

A Rainbow is formed due to

• reflection

• refraction

• both refraction and reflection

• Magic Leprechauns

When a rainbow is formed the sun is

• behind you

• in front of you

• directly overhead

• to the side of you

When sunlight bounces off of the inside of a raindrop, it is an example of

• refraction

• diffraction

• dispersion

• total internal reflection

colors in a rainbow occur because white light is separated into colors

• at the first bend entering the drop

• at the "bounce" or reflection

• at the second bend leaving the drop

• at both bends, entering and leaving the drop

The space between the two bows of a double rainbow

• is lighter than the surrounding sky

• is the same brightness as the surrounding sky

• is darker than the surrounding sky

• is where Leprechauns live
